Confirmation (grade 8)
Plymouth Congregational Church offers a one-year Confirmation program with students entering the eighth grade. A student entering this program is not signing on to be confirmed, but rather is signing on to the process. The decision of whether to join the church and participate in the Rite of Confirmation is made at the end of the process. The goal of this program is to have the students explore their journeys of faith. Students are confirmed to wherever they are on their journey.
This program requires parent participation and connects students to the church and church community. Students are expected to complete the following requirements in order to be confirmed as a member of Plymouth Congregational Church: regular class attendance and participation, a Statement of Faith paper, and a Faith Reflection project. Students are assigned a mentor who has been vetted by the church and will join the student for class once a month. Parents are encouraged to attend a monthly parenting meeting held while the students are in class.
