Questions?

Sooner or later every confirmation class comes to the Lord’s Prayer, the Ten Commandments and the Creeds. Faith Alive builds its weekends around them.

Confirmands learn by doing. They share cabins with caring counselors, worship in creative ways, and fill the rest of the weekend with crafts, songs, games and a campfire. One congregation’s confirmands came home and taught their whole church the motions to the Apostles’ Creed they had learned here.

Pastors and youth leaders, Faith Alive works alongside the confirmation program you already run, and it’s a good fit if you’d love to take your group on retreat but don’t have enough middle schoolers to fill one on your own. Bring the youth you have and they’ll share the weekend with confirmands from other congregations. Adults are welcome to come too.
