Confirmation Class

Confirmation is intended for middle grade youth, generally seventh, eighth, and ninth graders.

Rumple offers a multi-month program for youth who are interested in going through confirmation.

The 2026 confirmation class for youth will begin January 11, 2026. Preparing to be confirmed as a youth member of the church is a meaningful ritual and a formative time to learn about God’s purpose for our lives, discipleship & church membership, and what it means to be Presbyterian.

For the program, Rumple matches a congregational mentor with each confirmand to walk alongside them during the program, answer questions, and help them polish their faith statements.

At the conclusion of the program, confirmands who would like to join the church participate in an examination by Rumple’s Session discussing their personal statements of faith. Following that examination, the Session votes to accept the confirmands as church members.

This is a joyful occasion for all involved and provides an experience these young church members cherish.
