First Communion & Confirmation
First Communion
The first time a person participates in the Lord’s Supper: the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, instituted by Christ Himself for us Christians to eat and drink. Preceded by a time of individual family instruction/discipleship in the form of two immersions and a family project. Generally, this opportunity is for 6th graders.
Confirmation
Confirmation is a public act of the church that is preceded by a period of intentional discipleship designed to help baptized Christians affirm their identity with the life and mission of the Christian Community. It seeks to involve the whole family and the whole church to provide a supportive community that will affirm the work God began in baptism and promises to bring to fulfillment through His Son, Jesus Christ. Unconfirmed students grade 7th and up will complete confirmation in four immersion that includes time for the students to connect with one another, parents to have time with parents, and time for families to come together as a community and share a meal.
What is an immersion?
Immersions are intentional times of instruction in a home-based atmosphere. Faith is lived out in the home and it’s where discipleship most often occurs! They are held on Sunday afternoons throughout the year in the home of a staff person or host family. This is a time to dive deeper into different topics, continue with application and have fellowship time together.
