Confirmation (7th & 8th Grade)
Connect with Kristin for a calendar of meeting dates and times as they vary.
When a young person decides to make their own profession of faith, they are confirming the faith in which they were raised. That is, they are accepting the faith in which they were raised as their own. When youth are confirmed, they publicly make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ. If they had not been previously baptized, they receive the sacrament of baptism. If they had been baptized as infants, they reaffirm the baptismal covenant promises that were made on their behalf by their parents and the local church. They publicly reject evil and sin, and turn toward Jesus Christ, acknowledging Jesus as Lord of their life. The youth then become a member of OPPC, because by being confirmed, they are recognizing that they are part of the body of Christ. They agree to live out their faith as part of the body of Christ through active worship and service in a local church.
