Confirmation is not only a step to your adulthood as a part of the church and the world. Confirmation is above all, the affirmation and a clear ‘yes’ to your own baptism. Before you can say yes, you have to understand what you are agreeing to. Thereafter, you are welcome to stick around our congregation and stay connected by joining the Youth Group.

Not baptized yet? No problem. You do not have to be baptized to attend the confirmation course. Just come and see if faith is your thing.
