The Confirmation year is a special one for young people in the ninth grade.  It is a year of growth in faith, often a time of searching and a chance to make an adult commitment to First Church.

Confirmation Class meets on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Youth Room.  The classes involve study, fellowship, fun and worship on a weekly basis.  The class has a traditional mission project around Christmas involving visits to senior members of the congregation.   Each year the class goes on two retreats: one in November, "Jesus of Nazareth," where each young person is accompanied by a parent for a weekend of New Testament activities, and a second weekend in March, "What do I Believe?" which is attended by just the young people and the advisors.  This weekend culminates with each young person writing a personal statement of faith.
