Confirmation Ministry | Sundays, 5-6:30 p.m.

St. Paul’s confirmation ministry is a wildly popular experience that gets to the very heart of where middle-schoolers live. It’s a creative, spirit-enlivened venture into the life of faith, relying on the care and attention of one caring Christian mentor for every carload of kids.

Learning and fun

The two-year confirmation experience for grades seven and eight is built on learning, serving, and Christian community. With a spirit that declares “it’s a sin to bore a kid,” the focus is on the great biblical stories of God’s grace, forgiveness, and love.

Sunday evenings

At the heart of this program are Confirmation Sunday Nights, generally held twice each month from September through May, 5-6:30 p.m.

Large-group presentations set a tone of fun and anticipation, then our pastoral residents step in to teach. Small-group huddles follow, led by a committed corps of volunteer sponsors who help bond youth in trusting relationships. In these groups, each person is accepted, heard, prayed for, and loved.

Retreats

Camp Shalom is the place for confirmation retreats: in the fall for seventh-graders and the spring for eighth-graders.

Worship

Regular worship is the key to lifelong habits of faithfulness. Confirmation youth are asked to worship each weekend. Youth are heartily encouraged to participate as acolytes in worship.

Breakfast Club

Sink into a sofa for honest conversations about faith and real life that will surprise and challenge you. A typical Sunday morning involves gathering, hearing a Bible story, discussing the story in a large group, and then processing it in small groups. And don’t worry. . . there’s food! Doughnuts are served weekly.

Sunday mornings from 10:45-11:30 a.m. in the Youth Room.

Youth Choir

A weekly offering for students to gather and sing together. The choir practices multiple pieces of music which are performed throughout the year on Sunday mornings during worship. New members are always welcome.

Rehearsals take place Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30 in the Music Room.
