Confirmation is a nine week class designed for our youth to give them an opportunity to experience God for themselves and articulate what they believe about Him. It covers topics such as:
- The Gospel Message
- The Trinity
- Worship
- Prayer
- Bible study
- Denominational beliefs
- Stewardship
- Faith
It is designed for attendance by youth in grades 7-12 and who have not previously become members of a Christian Church. The completion of confirmation means membership in Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church.
Confirmation involves the following components:
- Nine weeks of classes, starting 15-Feb at 9:30am, meeting every Sunday through 20-Apr. Students may miss up to two classes, which will have to be made up
- Scripture memorization
- Some homework each week
- Memorizing the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer
- A Covenant Partner*
- Attending a Session Meeting, 23-Apr
- Confirmation Sunday, 26-Apr
- Writing a Faith Statement
Note: Coming to Confirmation Class does not obligate one to join the church, but offers the opportunity to do so at the end of class. In Confirmation Class, one is 'confirming' their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, affirming the vows parents made at Baptism and professing one's own faith in Jesus Christ. It is an exciting time!
* A Covenant Partner is an elder who partners with a student. His/her purpose is to be an adult connection to the church to whom one will be able to go if questions or concerns arise. One must meet with the Covenant Partner at least twice, once to get familiar and once to discuss faith (don't be nervous). The Covenant Partner is one who cares about and want's to get to know their students.
