FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 
My child is in 9th-12th grade and needs to receive Confirmation, which program should I register for? 
While our regular Confirmation program is for 8th-9th grade, any student in need of the Rite of Confirmation is welcome to prepare with us. When registering choose "no" under the Sacrament of Confirmation. Then continue to register with the appropriate grade-level program (Confirmation Prep or Port)

Can my 8th grader attend Wednesday night Confirmation prep?
No, we encourage you to register them to join an 8th grade group on Monday nights. Through discipleship groups, we want to create positive peer groups that can travel together throughout our program 7-12th grade, by keeping your child in their appropriate night and grade level they will make connections with peers their own age.
