It is also a period when young people begin to challenge authority and question their faith. Our programs for Middle School students welcome those questions and seek to make the most of this period of change and exploration. We strive to encounter the Bible and our faith in everyday language while looking for the hand of God in people and actions all around us. Perhaps then we can see ourselves as part of the living Body of Christ.

Seventh Grade    Seventh Grade Confirmands take a thematic approach to studying the Bible – both Old and New Testaments. Much of their growth is centered around applying biblical knowledge, reflection and experience to their daily lives. Regular church attendance and service as an acolyte is required, and participation in Breakfast Runs and Retreats is expected.
