From the Diocese of California

Questions to keep in mind when developing a Confirmation program:

• Are the participant's active in the congregation, and are they personally ready to make a mature affirmation of their Baptismal Vows?

• Are the following elements part of our holistic program?

• Worship & prayer

• Service & outreach

• Fun & fellowship

• Spirituality - can each individual write a spiritual autobiography?

• Participation in the life of the worshipping community - youth group, usher, choir, acolyte, Vestry, Outreach, assist with Church School, etc.

• Does the confirmand have a mentor or adult spiritual guide (not their parent) who is an active member of the parish for whom they can discuss their questions, hopes and fears about their faith?

• Is there a way for the newly confirmed to enter into a new role as an adult member of the parish community? (Hopefully, confirmation is not seen as "graduation" from religious education!)
