Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”

CONFIRMATION 2025
Begins January 12, 2025 | 9:30 - 10:30 AM | $65
Confirmation is an exciting time in the lives of our families with students. Offered every Spring for all middle and high school students in an eight-week Sunday morning class. Confirmation challenges students and their parents to examine the basics of their faith and make or recommit to a lifelong commitment to Christ. Some topics to be covered are: God, Sin, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Grace, the Bible, Practices of the Faith, the Church and Service. At the end of the eight weeks, students and their family members will have the opportunity to be baptized and confirmed, becoming members of the Mount Pisgah.
Parents meet for their own class (while their students are in class) for fellowship and to learn/or review the basics of the Christian faith from a personal and parenting perspective. Parents will be encouraged and equipped to have meaningful discussions about life and faith with their students outside of class time and engage in weekly discussion about how God uses this crazy ride called parenting to sharpen and deepen our own faith.
Confirmation gives students and parents the opportunity to:
· Examine the basics of their faith and make (or grow in) a lifelong commitment to Christ
· Have time to connect with and deepen relationships with peers and leaders
· Grow their faith through discussion, introspection and fun activities
· Be baptized and become a member of the church
· Have intentional, meaningful conversations about their faith at home
