The confirmation ministry at Atonement is a two-year program that includes worship, learning, and serving, as well as forming a community built on respect, support, and love.  Students in the program are normally 7th and 8th graders or older, with 9th graders (or older) affirming their baptism (we often say “getting confirmed”!) on Reformation Sunday (this year it’s October 29).
