Middle School Faith Formation
Affirmation of Baptism Classes
Affirmation of Baptism (formerly known as Confirmation) is a two-year faith-forming journey for anyone in the 6th grade or higher, their parents/ guardians, and mentors and facilitators who accompany them on this journey.
Affirmation of Baptism classes are held on Sundays at 11:00am in the Education Building.
Previously, there were two concurrent classes, Year One (Bible) and Year Two (Catechism). We have shifted to teaching one class a year with Bible and Catechism being offered on a rotating basis. You can begin your two year process with which ever class is being offered the year you begin. The Bible class is being offered this year.
Those interested in participating should review the AOB overview, then complete and submit the AOB registration forms to Alyssa Terry.

Affirmation of Baptism Mentor Program
Beginning this year, AOB students in their second year of classes will also participate in the Mentor Program in preparation for their Affirmation of Baptism (Confirmation) next fall.
The goal of the mentorship program is to build intergenerational relationships in our congregation, and provide our confirmation students with intentional support and guidance in their final year of confirmation.
If you’re interested in being a mentor, please email Alyssa Terry.
