Confirmation Kickoff

A year-long community group and life-long faith-shaping experience for your 7th grader.

Confirmation begins Sunday, Aug. 30, 6-7:30 pm, in the Bell Center at HP Pres

One of the big milestones for your student is Confirmation, a year-long community group for 7th graders, which promises to be incredibly fun while also helping shape your student’s faith for the rest of their life.

As an incoming 7th grader, your student can take part in Confirmation over the course of the school year. Our desire with Confirmation is to provide an opportunity for your 7th grader to confirm their personal faith in Jesus, be in biblical community with other believers, and learn what it means to participate in the life of the church.

Through Confirmation your student(s) will grapple with the big questions of our faith and explore what it means to be a disciple of Christ. While Confirmation specific content will be covered once a month on Sunday evenings during the fall semester, the lessons they will learn and the fellowship they will gain during those other three weeks will further grow your student along this path.

Our hope and prayer is that, through this process, your student comes to personally know and trust in Jesus Christ as their savior, that they are equipped and able to share their faith with the world, and then become a Covenant Partner of HP Pres during one of our worship services in the Spring. We also know that genuine faith isn’t coerced or programmed. For some kids, Confirmation is a place for them to learn more about the faith they have already been living in. For other kids, Confirmation is a welcoming place to explore who God is, and lays a foundation for them to follow Jesus later in their life. No matter where your student is in their faith journey, Confirmation will help them grow and explore their next steps.
