Confirmation

This year-long class (September through May) helps 8th graders explore and claim their own personal faith and prepares them to make a decision about confirming the promises that were made on their behalf at their baptism (or to be baptized as a part of their profession of faith).

Candidates are encouraged to attend Sunday morning worship at WPC throughout the year, participate in 11 classes September through May and complete a service/mission project of their own design or partake in the class offered service trip. As a group we will visit other houses of worship to share in God’s love and strengthen our interfaith relations.

Candidates will have a chance to spend time with and share in the faith journeys of other WPC members. The program encourages a special and unique individual relationship with God as well as coming together as a church family.

Spirit, Scripture, the Church, and the Presbyterian tradition.

At the conclusion of our time together candidates will write a brief personal Statement of Faith and participate in the Service of Confirmation and recognized as brothers and sisters in faith here at WPC.

8th Grade Confirmation

Confirmation, a personal reaffirmation of vows generally taken by our parents at Baptism, is a milestone to be celebrated as we continue along in our journeys of faith. Regardless of your prior faith foundation or lack thereof we are welcoming anyone interested in exploring a relationship with God. You do not need to be Baptized prior to beginning Confirmation classes.
