How Confirmation Works at St. Paul's

  • Through the School: Students that attend St. Paul's school receive confirmation instruction through school religion classes taught by Pastor Stock (6th), Miss Mertens (7th), and Pastor Speckhard (8th).
  • Through Additional Classes: For students that are St. Paul's members, but don't attend St. Paul's school, confirmation is offered as a three-year course, starting in 6th grade.  This class typically meets once a week and is led by Pastor Stock.  Due to Covid-19, this class is meeting once a month with online assignments in between for the 2020-21 school year.

Getting Confirmed

As students prepare to affirm their baptismal faith and pledge to be lifelong learners of God's Word, they participate in several practices to help them learn to articulate their faith.  All 8th grade members take part in these final pieces of confirmation.
  • Pick a confirmation Bible verse
  • Write an essay 
  • Partake in their first communion (and receive special instruction for it)
  • Oral examination
  • One on one meeting with Pastor Speckhard
  • Make a banner (optional, but fun!)
