MIPC Youth Confirmation 2026

Confirmation is a meaningful step in a young person’s faith journey—a time to explore, question, and affirm what they believe in a supportive, thoughtful environment. Guided by our pastors, students will deepen their understanding of faith and have the opportunity to become members of MIPC if they choose.

This year’s Confirmation class will meet for 10 sessions on select Sundays during the Sunday School hour in the Youth Room. Students are encouraged to attend either the 8:30 am or 10:30 am worship service with their families.

Schedule:

  • Sept 13 – Informational Parent & Student Meeting (during SS hour)

  • Sept 13 – Session #1 + Participant Dinner

  • Sept 20 – Session #2

  • Sept 27 – Session #3

  • Oct 4 – Session #4

  • Oct 11 – No meeting

  • Oct 18 – Session #5

  • Oct 25 – Session #6

  • Nov 1 – Session #7

  • Nov 8 – Session #8

  • Nov 15 – Session #9

  • Nov 22 – Session #10

  • Dec 6 – Confirmation Sunday (during worship)

We will be using portions of a curriculum called Changing the World by Mark D. Hinds, as well as a topic-based series of sessions developed at MIPC over the past five years. These learning materials are designed to help confirmands:

  • Articulate their beliefs and questions about God, spirituality, and matters of Christian faith

  • Develop a personal sense of what it means to profess faith in Jesus Christ

  • Grow in the Spirit’s gifts of wisdom, understanding, justice, freedom, and joy

  • Embrace their role in the life and ministry of the church to live out their faith in the world
