Confirmation is a formal process where students own the faith that they were promised to be raised in at their baptism. Its a wonderful time of discipleship and something I really do look forward to every year. Last night began the the rather intensive process which includes a systematic teaching or the redemptive story,
ecclesiology, missiology, pneumatology, as well as local service, and a study of the Gospel of Luke in it's entirety. We intentionally set the bar high and every year students surpass our expectations. One of the more exciting times is seeing high school students who act as table leaders to this mostly 8th grade class mature into leaders and be used by God. Here's to a great season of confirmation.

I think this really is a great idea. I wish more "denominations" would have a process like this. I think it comes to pass at a time where students are most, not vulnerable - but most faced with the fork in the road, as far as their faith is concerned. I really like giving them a firm foundation to set them up for the rest of their lives. I also love how such boring words (ecclesiology, missiology, etc.) look so interesting as portrayed in your picture. Those kids look like they are being shown a movie! haha! Great job!
