Faith is a Journey. Let's go together.

ABOUT THE JOURNEY
The confirmation program at Calvary works to meet students where they are at and takes a different approach to the journey that we have traditionally known as confirmation.
GOALS
Our goal is to build relationships in small group settings and help students explore, engage, and encounter faith as they study side by side with peers and other leaders. The goal is not to reach the destination; the goal is the journey itself.
Students will take a combination of core & elective classes as well as participate in a variety of enrichment experiences to earn “credits.”
CELEBRATE CONFIRMATION
Calvary's confirmation program aims to use a "credit" system so each person can learn and explore faith at their own pace. When participants are ready or at forty credits, they are encouraged to publicly celebrate this segment of their journey through the Rite of Confirmation.

Enrichment Experiences
Enrichment Experiences
Enrichment Experiences
Enrichment experiences are opportunities for students to earn confirmation credits outside of classes. The goal is to show students that there is more to church than just coming and sitting in the pews. Students can earn credits by helping in the nursery or coffee shop, teaching Sunday school, attending Bible camps and retreats, etc.

Creeds & Commandments
We will take a look at the Apostles' Creeed, each article of the Creed, and its goal of unifying the body of Christ. In other words, we will explore the question "what do we believe and why?" We will move to the Ten Commandments, the list God gave us to help us live in harmony with others and with God.
