Confirmation 2007

What Does it Mean to be a Christian?

Confirmation 2007 takes place from January—April. As in the past, participants each partner with an adult mentor who helps them make decisions regarding their faith in Jesus Christ and affiliation with the congregation. This in-depth program is both memorable and thought-provoking.  

Mentors are APC volunteers who have a strong Christian faith and willingness to help young adults grow and explore their faith in a way that is both non-judgmental and meaningful.

2007 activities include:

• Thursday night group discussions at the Solid Ground Soul Café (held at the Church House)

• One-on-one meetings with mentors

• Participation in opening and closing retreats

• Creating and implementing a ministry project that benefits APC

What is APC Confirmation?

A Faith Exploration and Spiritual Formation Experience

Confirmation is a place where youth decide for themselves what they believe and how they express those beliefs.

Confirmation is a place where, through the help of caring adults, young people are both listened to and hear their peers.

Confirmation is a place for searching, probing and growing that allows young adults to find out more about themselves.

How Can I Become Involved in Confirmation?

Although it is too late to become involved in 2007, there are new confirmation classes every year.  

If you are in at least 8^th grade, your participation is welcomed! All that is required is your strong commitment to the program and to exploring your faith in depth.  

Confirmation mentors are also welcomed. Requirements include being a member of APC for at least six months and over the age of 21. Mentors are the same gender as their confirmand and are accepting of questions and doubts that a young person may have.
