| What is Confirmation? |
| The word "confirmation" means "to make firm." Confirmation seeks to make firm that which has gone before. It is closely linked to (and dependent on) what has taken placed in the individual's life already, including God's prevenient grace, the sacrament of baptism, the Christian nurture provided by the parents in the home, and the Christian nurture by the faith community. |
| What is the Confirmation Class or Program? |
- The purpose of a confirmation class is to prepare the person to respond to God's grace and to take up the responsibilities of Christian discipleship.
- The class will cover what it means to be a Christian, what we believe as a church, how we are to live out lives, what out church history and heritage are and more!
- Our church believes sixth and seventh graders are old enough to contribute to the life of our congregation and to live out their faith in the world.

| What is the Confirmation Worship Service? |
| The purpose of the confirmation service is to give the person the opportunity to respond to God's call to discipleship and to publicly respond and profess the faith. |
| Do you have to be baptized to be confirmed? |
| Yes, because you are a Christian disciple first and then a member of a church. If the student has not yet been baptized and wants to be, the student can be baptized during any church service, just contact Kristen Wizeman's office to discuss and schedule. 214-706-9551. |
| What curriculum do you use? |
| We use Claim the Name: Confirmation Teaching Plans for 39 Weeks, published by Cokesbury. A theological and Practical Overview of Confirmation by John Gooch and published by Abingdon. |
