Connect- ryeX Youth

What is Confirmation?

Confirmation is a vital component of the ryeX Youth Ministry. Students eighth grade and older, have the opportunity to explore, question, and enrich their faith in a safe environment. This is their time to claim their faith as their own by professing Jesus as their Savior and Lord, and then becoming members of the church. Students take a look at the fundamentals of the Christian faith as well as important aspects of Presbyterianism.

Class of 2027

Welcome to our ryeX Confirmation page. On this page, you will be able to find our schedule, registration links, information about individual events, and so much more! During Confirmation, we strive to teach students about God in an engaging and interactive way. Through our 12 classes, students will cover a variety of material about God, the church, and the greater Christian community. If you have any questions about confirmation, feel free to contact Kerri Irwin at kerri@roswellpres.org.

Classes & Expectations

Confirmation classes are generally held on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:30 a.m., beginning in October and continuing through March.

Students are expected to attend all classes, the service day, both services with other congregations, and all three scheduled RPC worship services. Students are allowed no more than two excused absences. If students miss a class, they must notify their teachers in order to make up the material.

WHAT’S IN THE PROGRAM?

Service Project

During Confirmation, students have the opportunity to put their faith in action by working with RPC’s local mission partners. Students will engage in service with their mentor during North Fulton Community Charities Toyland hosted at RPC in December, and whole class serving breakfast to the housing insecure in Atlanta at First Presbyterian Church Atlanta.

Visiting Congregations

Students will have two opportunities to worship with other churches. Afterwards, we will debrief, ask questions, and share experiences. Parents are welcome to attend but not required.

Parent Track Classes

We invite all parents of the current confirmation class to attend and learn more about what their students are learning. Our hope is that this will foster discussion at home and a better understanding of what your students are undertaking.

Parent Track Class Schedule
Dates and locations will be posted when available.

9:15 — 10:30 a.m.

Mentors

Mentors are an invaluable part of the confirmation process.

Each student is paired with an adult from RPC who has agreed to spend time building a relationship with that student. Mentors get to know the students, help them work through questions along the way, worship with them, assist them in writing their statement of faith, and pray for them.
