Main: Confirmation
About
Hosanna’s confirmation is a personal faith process that helps lead students to a life-long journey in their walk with God. Students in grades 7th-12th who would like to have a clearer understanding of their faith should begin the process of confirmation.
Confirmation is designed to be a time for families to work through the program together at their own rate. At the end of this journey students will publicly confirm their faith as a disciple of Jesus at a Confirmation worship service.
Your student is ready to begin confirmation if they:
- Believe and trust in Jesus
- Want to know more about what our church teaches
- Want to know more about what it looks like to be an adult disciple of Jesus
- Are prepared to share with Hosanna that they are a disciple of Jesus
