2025-2026 7th and 8th grade Confirmation Registration Form

Confirmation is at the heart of our Middle School youth ministry for students in 7th and 8th grades. It is the process by which our 7th and 8th graders prepare to affirm their baptisms and become adult members of the church. The four key components of the program are:

  • Active participation in weekly worship

  • Sunday morning small groups

  • Monthly “Family Group” meetings where small groups of families meet together for fun and faith formation

  • Monthly “Clergy Group” meetings where students meet with the pastors

We welcome all of our middle school students to participate, regardless of whether they have been part of our confirmation program in the past. Parents of 7th and 8th grade students should have received an email from Pastor Kelsey. New students are always welcome to participate in confirmation and are welcome to join at any time during the program. If you are new to the congregation or didn’t receive the email, please contact Pastor Kelsey Kresse, Associate Pastor.

Amazing Race DAY 7th-12th grade
February 17, 9:00a.m.-4:00p.m.
We're bringing the Amazing Race Camp we all know and love to the school year! On select days that FCPS has off of school, Pastor Kelsey and our youth will head into DC for adventures in service, learning, teamwork and exploring! Just like over the summer, students will meet Pastor Kelsey at the Franconia Springfield Metro at 9:00a.m. and return as close to 4:00p.m. as possible. Students will need to carry their own metro card and their packed lunch. Everyone will be on a team that figures out clues, navigates to destinations, and looks at a bible story together. Parent chaperones will be needed to make this a success. Registration is here.
