Faith Alive
Weekend retreats for confirmation-age youth, each one built around the baptismal promises or the pillars of faith. 3 sessions · March – November.
Faith Alive runs on a two-year cycle. One year, each weekend takes up one of the promises made at baptism. The next, the weekends turn to the pillars of faith: the Lord’s Prayer, the Creeds, and the Ten Commandments.
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.
