9th Grade
Confirmation
Online registration
is open for 2009-2010 Confirmation.
|
Many of you have now moved to high school, maybe
with your old friends, but maybe not. You've
become the little fish in the big pond again.
Life feels different now.
You have more
freedom, more responsibilities, and more choices
to make.
Your view of the world is expanding and
you are aware of many more things than ever
before. Some of them are
incredibly exciting.
Some of them
can seem downright scary. You find the more you
see and the more you learn, the more questions
you have… |
|
So you
don’t have all the answers—that’s OK—let’s
struggle together with the questions! 9th
grade confirmation is all about WWF, Wrasslin’
With Faith!
YOU choose
the topics by sharing with us your toughest
questions about God, the world, relationships,
whatever.
And then we wrassle. |

instructions
An
opportunity to think about and articulate what it is
you believe and why—and what you struggle with or
doubt.
We supply you with an outline to help the process,
but the words and thoughts are your own!
What you
write about becomes a topic of conversation in your
one-on-one interview with a pastor. |
LARGE GROUP
On most Wednesdays, all of the 9th Graders gather in
the Great Hall at 7:00pm where
Pastor Randy and
Katie Heilman (or a guest presenter)
introduce the question of the day using tools such
as movie clips, pictures, songs, and first-hand
experiences.
Of course, the
topics themselves are guaranteed to be important and
relevant because YOU picked them! |
SMALL GROUP
You
then break up into small groups of eight
students
and two 10th-12th
grade facilitators. The facilitators
help you to explore the issues raised in the large
group presentations and to assist you in connecting
them to your personal experience.

9th Grade
Facilitators |
|
|
Facilitators are a key part of 9th Grade
confirmation.
They work in pairs to lead discussions
with small groups of 9th graders and help out in some of
the large group presentations as well. Being a
facilitator is an excellent way to share your knowledge,
minister to your peers, and grow in your faith at the
same time!
Facilitators
discuss faith and life issues with a small group of
ninth graders. The training you receive for this
ministry is both fun and valuable in all your
relationships.
We take this program seriously, and we are seeking high
school sophomores, juniors, and seniors who are prepared
to make a commitment
for
the 2009-10 school year.
