Ordinances and Sacraments

The Confirmation Experience aims to celebrate Confirmation in a way that grows a healthy community of Christians. Using the image of a journey, there are twelve very varied events rather than a course of study, in which all candidates take part together, along with other members of the church community. Each candidate starts a personal logbook and there are four different styles to choose from: 11-14 years, 15-18 years, adult and 11-adult with assistance. Presentation books of prayers for the newly confirmed help them to think and pray through the issues raised. One version is designed for young people and another for adults. The Confirmation Experience is a whole church community preparation for a life-long journey of faith in Jesus Christ.
