Confirmation

Confirmation is a two-year educational program designed to prepare 7th and 8th grade students for their lifelong faith journey. The curriculum aims to help youth develop a deeper understanding of what it means to be a Christian (using the Countryside Mission Statement, the  Phoenix Affirmations, and the 8 Points of Progressive Christianity as guides) and a member of the United Church of Christ.

Classes meet on Sunday from 4-5pm and Thursday from 5-6pm during the school year.

If you have any questions, please email Rebecca Morello or call the church Office: 402-391-0350.
