Confirmation (6th, 7th, 8th Grades)


August youth events  (in pdf)
September youth events  (in pdf)


Sixth, seventh and eighth grade confirmation is a weekly gathering which invites youth into a deeper understanding of faith, the servant life, and the ongoing worship life in the congregation.

Classes are formed as students enter sixth grade. It is Grace's intent that classes and teachers stay together as a group for the three-year program.

Confirmation time schedule: Classes meet each Wednesday from 6:45 to 8:00 p.m.

 6:45-7:00-Large-Group (6th-7th-8th) Opening in Koinonia Hall (15 minutes)

On Wednesday evenings, our Grace Diner offers a low-cost, family-friendly meal from 4:45-5:45 p.m. so families can have a meal together before kids head off to class. Wednesday worship services are held at 5:45 p.m.

An informational cover letter and forms are available on the Welcome Center.  We do accept registrations throughout the year.  However, in order to have adequate time to assign the new sixth graders to classes, ensure that we have adequate classroom space, recruit enough guides, we ask that you help us expedite that process by turning in your registration forms as soon as possible.

You are now able to pay Grace Bible School and Confirmation registration fees on line.  Just click on the Vanco Web Donation Payment Page link to complete the forms.  Please be sure you fill in all descriptions in the required boxes.  You will receive an e-mail receipt with a confirmation number.  Please write that payment confirmation number on the bottom of your GBS or CF registration forms before you turn them into the church office.
