St. John’s, tracing its roots back to the Evangelical stream of the UCC, has a long history with confirmation. Photos of classes dating back to the early 1900’s are proudly hung along the walls near the church office. Today, confirmation is a two year program that includes both the seventh and eighth grade. Students are required to attend worship and Sunday school, become active in church life, and help in a variety of community projects. On Presentation Sunday, confirmation students lead worship and present statements of faith that they’ve written. St. John’s confirms on Palm Sunday, when young people assume for themselves the baptismal vows their parents once took on their behalf.
