    Pre-teens have a lot of questions about faith and life.  Our Pre-Confirmation Class is designed to engage those questions in a fun and interactive way.

  • Sundays | 10:00 a.m. | Tea House


    The Bethesda Confirmation Class is open to all current 8th grade youth. 

    Each week we will discuss a topic from the Episcopal faith, meet Bethesda parishioners who are active members of various Sunday ministries, and play fun learning games to tie everything together. 

    Participants are invited to be confirmed at the next bishop’s visitation in May.

  • Sundays | 10:00 a.m. | Youth Room

    Youth who are in 9th-12th Grade or have been confirmed are eligible to participate in a year-long project that will culminate with a week-long pilgrimage experience next summer.

    Over the course of the year we will learn more about how we seek to serve Christ in others.

Confirmations

“Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop.” (The Book of Common Prayer, Catechism, page 860)

Each year, Bethesda offers a course of preparation for youth in grade 8 or higher and another course for adults who wish to be confirmed.
