Confirmation FAQ

A small group of 7–10 students led by parent and high school student leaders for growth and accountability. These groups foster spiritual growth, accountability and lasting friendships.
Parent leaders play a vital role in the confirmation journey. They help guide, encourage and model what it means to follow Jesus for a small group of confirmands. They also track progress and support communication between the church and families. Parent leaders don’t need to be Bible experts — just faithful, caring adults willing to walk alongside students as they grow in their faith.
