Confirmation - Grade 8
Confirmation is the beginning of our youth in their spiritual journey to adult membership in the Episcopal Church. It is a time marked by deep exploration of the faith and how they can personally live into the mission of St. David's church.
The Confirmation journey consists of five components: Instruction, Mentoring, Worship, Statement of Faith and Outreach.
- Instruction - In the Chapel after the 9:15 a.m. worship service.
- Worship/ Senior Sermons—Confirmands will be assigned a Senior Sermon service to participate in.
- Statement of Faith—Confirmands will prepare a Statement of Faith. More information will be available at the beginning of the Sunday School year.
- Outreach—Confirmands will have the opportunity to work cooperatively on a local outreach project.
- Mentors—In addition, each student selects a mentor to be their companion for the journey. Local godparents or active St. David’s parishioners make good mentors.

Confirmation Rite of Admission
The confirmation process is rigourous and includes classes, outreach opportunities, meetings with mentors, and participation in the life of the church. The Confirmation Rite of Admission is an opporutnity for the Confirmidants to make an expression of their intent to the congregation as they undertake their spritual journey, so we as a community may pray for and help guide them as they grow more fully in Christ's love.
