Adult Confirmation: A Life-Long Journey
15 Sessions September 2026 to April 2027
Wednesday Mornings & Evenings on ZOOM
How Will Adult Confirmation Work?
We will embark on a year-long journey, as we focus on the same big questions our youth ask and seek to answer in their Confirmation class (see topics to the right). This class is open to all, regardless of what faith tradition you were raised in (or not) or confirmed in (or not). Upon completion of the program, participants may choose to be “confirmed” along with our youth or simply celebrate the journey we’ll travel together!
In each session, we’ll watch videos and engage in discussion facilitated by Pastor Maureen. Email Pastor Maureen to receive the Zoom link, or access the link on our church website in the Members Section under “Zoom Links.”
Sessions will be held twice a month, on Wednesday mornings and evenings, on ZOOM.
Our morning class will meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Our evening class will meet on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Participants are welcome to attend either class as your schedule allows. If you miss the morning session one week, feel free to join us in the evening the following week, or vice versa! Note: during some months, morning and evening classes will be held on the same day to accommodate holidays.
