What does confirmation mean?

Confirmation is more than a solemn celebration; it is a time for reflection, growth and learning. Through teaching, conversations and activities, the confirmands receive:

• Knowledge of Christian faith: They learn about the Bible, the creed, and the traditions of the church.
• Room for questions: Confirmation time gives young people room to explore faith and doubt in a safe community.
• Experiences: Confirmation camps, theme days and church services create memories and build community.
• Ceremony: Confirmation Day is a solemn service where the confirmands are prayed for and blessed.

We look forward to following you through the confirmation year and celebrating this special day together!
