Confirmation

Confirmation is the process whereby someone who was baptized as an infant has the opportunity to study the faith and make a decision whether or not to join the church as an active adult member. It is also the time when non-baptized young people can engage in a time of study that will help them decide whether they wish to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, be baptized and join the church. Traditionally, this takes place in the 7th or 8th grade years.

Here at Chapel Lane we have handled confirmation in a variety of ways including: Sunday morning classes, Sunday evening classes and after school activities. For 2008-09 the class will meet on Sunday mornings at 9:30 in the Youth Room.

The curriculum for the class will cover a wide variety of topics dealing with: the Christian faith and what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ, how and why we worship, the sacraments, mission, basic Presbyterian traditions and practices, how we govern ourselves and what it means to be the church.

If you have any questions about confirmation, please contact the Director of Christian Education.
