Confirmation at Kenilworth Union Church
Next Confirmation Sunday is April 24, 2022
Ninth Grade is confirmation year at Kenilworth Union Church. Older teens who have not previously been confirmed are also welcome to enroll.
Confirmation is a course of education, exploration, and faith formation that challenges what youth know and believe about the Christian faith. By the end of their course, each confirmation student will be given the opportunity to say “yes” to being confirmed at Kenilworth Union, and to join the church as adult members.
Two Course Options:
Confirmation instruction happens in two formats explained below. Students in both courses are expected to complete additional confirmation requirements on their own time and are confirmed together as one class at Confirmation Sunday worship services the Sunday after Easter.
Wilderness Course
The Wilderness Course offers the option to learn and participate in Confirmation Curriculum during a week-long outdoor wilderness trip in late July / early August, before tryouts for fall sports begin. This is a great option for those who cannot commit to Sunday morning Classroom attendance. It is designed both to teach an intensive version of the Confirmation curriculum, and to experience the wilderness as a co-teacher, where the water, trails, and winds themselves offer up wisdom about God and God’s world.
Wilderness Confirmation Course 2021: Olympic National Park July 31–August 6. Registration deadline is Tuesday, May 25.
Classroom Course
The Classroom Course is a traditional confirmation format in which students attend a series of Sunday morning classes and attend additional information sessions and events. The Sunday classes begin mid to late September.
Classroom Course 2021–22. Classes begin Sunday, September 26.
