Midweek Ministries
Wednesdays 6:00-7:30 pm
Starts January 15th
Students meet in the Ministry Center for Bible study, announcements, group games, and worship.
Confirmation
Confirmation classes are for anyone 8th grade and older. Students participate in several classes and a retreat to learn more about their faith, the Bible, their denomination, their theology and beliefs, and their local church. This is a huge step in anyone's faith journey. Students will be provided a Confirmation mentor during this time to talk through their lessons and questions.
The next Confirmation journey will occur in Spring 2026.
