CONFIRMATION
Youth in grades 7 through 9
Confirmation at OSLC is a time for young people to explore and grow in the promises made to them on their baptism day.
Our confirmation ministry is a three year program and is currently for students in the 7th, 8th and 9th grade.
High School students who desire to be confirmed are also welcome to participate.
Confirmation Forms are available on the FORMS PAGE
You will need Confirmation Service hours.
Confirmation students can sign up for service hours at any time for the following:
Nursery (sign up by the Nursery), Usher, Acolyte (sign ups at the Ushers station),
and any other signups will be on the bulletin board by Youth offices.
