Confirmation

Confirmation

Confirmation is a key component of our Oasis midweek ministry and an important faith step for families.  In baptism we are born into God’s family and offered a gift of new life.  In baptism parents, sponsors and our faith community promise to nurture and teach faith.  Confirmation is an important time in our faith journey where students grow in their understanding of the Word, Sacraments and a deeper understanding of what it means to live faithfully.    Confirmation provides a safe place for students to explore faith and ask questions.  They engage deeper in faith as they discuss questions and wrestle with how faith directs their life with their peers.  Ultimately it is about taking ownership over their faith and deepening their relationship with Christ as they publically profess their faith on Confirmation Sunday.

Our curriculum, "Here We Stand", includes web-based resources for parents.  If you’d like to learn more about what your student is learning you’re encouraged to register here.  After registration you’ll be added to a group and can view upcoming lesson titles and student handouts.
