Confirmation will be for 8th graders (2025-2026 school year) and anyone in high school who hasn’t been confirmed yet. If you’re new to Trinity, you may be unaware that we used to do Confirmation in 5th grade. Our last class was confirmed in 2022. We have made the decision to move Confirmation to 8th grade which begins this school year.
Confirmation is a tradition in the church where young people have the opportunity to publicly profess their faith in Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We believe it is essential for kids who were baptized as babies to have a chance to stand before their church, renew the covenant made at their baptism, and receive the Holy Spirit. Confirmation is when a student becomes a professing member of our church body and can participate as a voting member in all church business at Trinity on the Hill.
In order to prepare kids for this moment, we will offer a 10-week class called Confirmation, from January 25 to April 19, 2026 during the Sunday school hour (9:45-10:45 AM). The class focuses on the core beliefs of the Christian faith, what it means to pursue a holy life, and how to make disciples.
Each year, this class will be open to all students who are 8th grade and older, whether they have been confirmed or not. Each year we want to remind our high school students the core truths of the faith they are part of, and from that class, all kids seeking the opportunity to publicly profess their faith will be mentored and prepared for such a holy and important moment.
The class will culminate in Confirmation Sunday on April 19, 2026. On this date, kids who have previously been baptized will stand before the church, declare their allegiance to Christ, be prayed over and confirmed into the faith. Kids who were not baptized as infants will first be baptized and then confirmed.
While kids are in the 10-week Confirmation class, parents have the opportunity to join a parent Sunday school class to learn what their kids are learning, and explore ways they can be spiritual leaders in their home.
You can sign up for the Confirmation class on Realm.
