Confirmation
At First Church, Confirmation is a two-year process of spiritual exploration and Christian education. The goal is to equip our young people with what they need to say “Yes” to God and take responsibility for their relationship with Christ. Confirmation takes place during Sunday School time for our 7th and 8th graders. If your child is entering 7th grade in the fall and you’d like them to begin the Confirmation journey, contact Jen McKenna at epworthyouth2@gmail.com. Entering a later grade and didn’t go through Confirmation? Let us know and the Confirmation team will help you find the right placement for your young person!
