COVID UPDATE
Much in our lives has changed dramatically since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. To address the various changes and concerns, we are adapting our confirmation ministry this upcoming year.

In-person classes will be held outdoors and following safety protocols such as mask wearing and socially distanced learning and activities. Each session will include 5 class gatherings.
Those who prefer to engage in confirmation through the online option will meet online with the pastors. These online meetings will be scheduled around the needs of the families involved.
Throughout winter, there may be opportunities for home activities and check-ins. Stay tuned for these opportunities and updates on the spring session.
