Confirmation Mentor Program – As our confirmation students are preparing to affirm the promises made on their behalf at their baptisms, we recognize that this is a vital time in their faith development. Since 2013 we have added this additional element of purposeful relationship with an adult member of the congregation. These relationships offer an opportunity for our youth to see faithful adults who live out their calls from God in many different and wonderful ways and give our youth a way to see their own lives fitting into this community.
Below you will find all of the information we included in your mentor training packet – so that you have it whenever you may need it.
All volunteers must have their clearances renewed every five years. More information here.
