Confirmation is geared toward nurturing and maturing 7th grade to 12th grade teens as growing Christian disciples.  An emphasis is placed on preparing the students to understand the Christian faith and what it means to be called a Christian.

In Baptism, we recognize God's claim on our lives.  In Confirmation, students have an opportunity to claim the relationship God freely offers for them.  Confirmation is a class for students 7th grade and up, who are interested in becoming a member of the church.  The class teaches the students important aspects of one's faith.

Each student will receive a hardback Life Application Study Bible- New International Version by Zondervan Publishing.  We feel this Bible will serve your child not only wonderful commentary, outline, maps and reading plans, concordance and dictionary to gain better insight into God's special revelation to us.

The class is meant to be both informational and transformational using a series of lessons, outings, assignments and services all aimed at helping the student make a meaningful profession of faith in Christ.  Outings include a visit to the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Columbus as well as Beth Messiah Congregation in Gahanna.

At the close of the confirmation experience, a dessert is held for students, parents, and family members.  The following Sunday is Confirmation Sunday (April 18).  The Senior Pastor and Director of Youth Ministries are both involved in the Confirmation experience. 

Note to Parents:

We will need your support in making Confirmation a life transforming process for this very special Christian that God has entrusted to your care.  Each lesson builds on the next so attendance is mandatory.  Thank you not only for all the encouragement and guidance that you have given your child through the years but even more, thank you for preparing them to love the Lord.  Your hard work is producing fruit.
