Sunday Confirmation

Sunday mornings during the Discipleship Hour, 9:00 am
for youth in grades 6-8 (younger or older youth can also participate – please speak with Doug Johnson)
In 2022-2023, we began our Cornerstone Ministry curriculum!
Our curriculum is following the Narrative Lectionary. All youth grades 6-12 gather together in 322/Conference Room at the start of class (9:00 am) to read the lesson and learn about the week’s theme. After the short large group instruction we break into a high school group and a middle school group. Each small group discusses the text, theme, and questions.
Each week families get Sunday’s lesson emailed to them to use at home or to later talk with their youth. Each lesson has information, questions to discuss, and “Home Reflections” with activities to do as a family throughout the week to reflect on that Sunday’s lesson. It is a way for your family to continue to engage the bible and your faith throughout the week!

Retreats

Most years, we get away for a weekend in the Fall. We get to know each other better, laugh, serve, and pray. This is a fun getaway weekend of fun and faith!

Adult Volunteers

We have an ongoing need for adult volunteers!

Our goal is to augment the education middle school youth receive through Affirmation of Baptism/Confirmation classes by giving them time to talk about their faith and get to know one another, as well as providing opportunities to serve others in the community and the world.
