Confirmation has always been a lasting tradition to explore God’s Word and the importance of living a Christian life. A major focus for a young teenager is learning to think for oneself and develop their own identity. Confirmation sits at the cusp of this stage of life. The end goal of Confirmation is for students to learn, reflect, and affirm their faith, yet recognizing that following Jesus is a lifelong journey filled with these things. Confirmation is not the end, rather it is the beginning of this relationship with Jesus. Confirmation is meant to propel students into the next step of their faith journey.

At Crossview, we value confirmation as an opportunity for students in 7th-11th grade to go through an intentional two years of discipleship consisting of five key components. Students are welcome to join at any time and will finish confirmation after they complete:

  1. Attending weekly large group teachings;

  2. Reading through and discussing the big picture of God’s story twice a month with a mentor;

  3. Participating in our confirmation retreats;

  4. Serving at church and in our community with others in your class, and

  5. Completing a small paper and pastoral interview about your confirmation experience.

Confirmation Serve Retreat

Friday, October 25 - Sunday, October 27, 2024

This weekend is only for current confirmation/discipleship students. It will be a weekend where we will put our faith into action by getting to know one another and by serving with Youth Works up in the Twin Cities. Because this is such an important part of the spiritual formation of students it is at no cost to you. That's right it's FREE. 


We will meet at Crossview Covenant Church on Friday, October 25 at 4:00 pm and we will take a bus up to the Twin Cities. We will return on Sunday, October 27 late morning/early afternoon (we will not be meeting at church for confirmation that morning).

If you have questions please contact Pastor Aaron Thompson at aaronthompson@crossviewcov.church.

Please RSVP by October 1 at 11:59pm.
