Youth & Teens

Our Confirmation program is a transformative journey of faith and self-discovery for teens, usually between ages 12-18. Participants explore foundational aspects of their faith, scripture, and church traditions through interactive discussions, teachings, and activities.
With experienced mentors, students develop a personal relationship with God, understand their spiritual identity, and commit meaningfully to their faith. It's more than knowledge; it's fostering community and empowering youth to live their faith confidently and with compassion.
Join us on this transformative journey as we grow together in faith and prepare for a lifelong walk with God.
