What is Confirmation?

Part of the continuing Journey of Baptism

When children are baptized, their parents stand in to make promises about their future lives of faith – that they will be disciples of Jesus and live the gospel in their everyday lives.  They will listen to the Word of God and share in the Holy Supper.  They will live among God’s faithful people. 

At some point, the baptized must choose to take on the responsibilities of that faith for themselves.  Confirmation is an intentional time of practicing and learning, so that youth might choose to become adults about their faith and take on their role as adult members of their church community.

At Good Shepherd, this special process lasts approximately three years.  We offer retreats for reflection, classes and many opportunities for service.  There is also an opportunity for adults to do the same program, but it is structured as an independent study model.  If you’re interested in confirmation, please contact our church office.
