There are two Confirmation classes per school year - one in the fall and one in the spring. Classes for the fall session begin Sunday, Jan. 29, 11 a.m., in the B5. Spring Confirmation Sunday is April 15, at 6:30 p.m.
 
Each class consists of eight sessions and a retreat. The curriculum comes from the Alpha series, which was designed to give nonbelievers an understanding of Christianity. In this context, it is meant to give youth a basic foundation of Christian principles in order to make new disciples and teach them the good news.
