Confirmation at Trinity

[HOME PAGE]   [UP - Christian Education]

 

Confirmation is a pastoral and educational ministry of the church which helps the baptized child through word and sacrament to identify more deeply with the Christian community and participate more fully in its mission.

 

A brief overview of Confirmation Ministry at Trinity:

This formal program of instruction for each child will span a period of a minimum of 25 months beginning in grade 7. Students in the first year of the program are designated as LEVEL I students; those in the second year of the program are designated as LEVEL II students. This formal instructional portion of the program will be offered periodically on Tuesday evenings between October and May. It is divided into 8 units of study; 4 units will be offered each year. Each unit will have 3 class sessions. These sessions will be taught by the pastor. A regular program of Bible study will utilize a daily devotional book for youth. Each book will cover approximately a two month period. Discussion of this material will take place in the Sunday Church School sessions. Throughout the course of study, members of the class will be requested to participate with various committees of the congregation as well as complete special study projects associated with each of the eight units.

 

Upcoming Schedule:

The fall (2007) signals the return of the formal phase of confirmation ministry.  This year the program resumed on Tuesday, September 18 with an orientation session for Level 1 students (those entering the program) and their parents.
