Confirmation Classes

Confirmation Class instructors needed!

Union Presbyterian Church’s Confirmation Class is looking for instructors!  If you have any interest in applying for this ministry, please contact Sally Andrews or any member of the Christian Education Committee.  We would like to have both a man and woman share the instructor responsibilities.  The students deal with exploring their personal faith and prepare written Statements of Faith.  The students also participate in acts of service to their community.  The class runs from the first week of December until Palm Sunday in the Spring, usually 16 to 20 weeks.  The Course Book has 26 Chapters of material to be covered in that time period.  During the last three years, the class has had success meeting during the Sunday School hour.

The next Confirmation Class will be for 7^th and 8^th graders.  In the recent past 6^th graders were in the Confirmation Class.  During the last two years, Union’s class and instructors attended the Crestfield Camp and Conference Center’s Pittsburgh Presbytery sponsored Confirmation Class Retreat Weekend.  We found that most churches hold their Confirmation Classes for 8^th grade students.  By holding the class for 8^th and 7^th grade students, we have a better chance to ‘catch’ a student who may miss the class during their 7^th grade year.  This process will also give our 6^th grade students a chance to not miss out on their first year of Middle School Sunday School.
