Confirmation Class 2014-2015
Students at the 8th grade level and above are welcome to join our Confirmation Class, which meets Monday evenings, from 7 to 8 p.m. There are 12 class sessions and other activities, including a retreat at Silver Lake Conference Center in February. The class is led by Pastor Clare and Karlee Etter.
Our teachers for the 7th and 8th graders are Alex Roman, Jennifer McCleery and Phil Ross. For the whole school year, Alex, Jennifer, and Phil will meet with the 7th and 8th graders during regular worship for an innovative program based on scripture, prayer and community building.
Inquires? Please call Pastor Clare.
