Adult Confirmation (also called an Adult Inquirer Class)

Bishop Adams will make a Sunday visitation to Trinity on April 10, 2016 to preside at our Confirmation liturgy. 
That will be the Third Sunday of Easter and his last visitation to our parish before his retirement, so there will be lots of love flowing that day!

First, here is some basic information which I hope will be helpful:

A. Those who were never confirmed in any denomination may be confirmed in the
Episcopal Church.

B. Those who were confirmed in the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, or Orthodox
church may be received in the Episcopal Church.

C. Adults wishing to be confirmed or received in the Episcopal Church must be a
baptized Christian (from any tradition).

Preparation is the same for scenarios A and B. 
The only distinction is that the Bishop will say slightly different words when you come forward in the confirmation liturgy, 
depending on whether you are being confirmed or received.

I anticipate that classes will begin in January, 2016, and run for the three months leading up to the Bishop’s visit on Sunday, April 10th. 
On that day, all who completed their preparation will be confirmed or received in one glorious celebration.

There will be a learning component, of course, but the class format will be interactive, dynamic, and, I hope, fun! My expectation is that reading and other factual pieces can be largely undertaken online, so that our class times are free for discussion and exploration.

There is no limit on space!  We currently have a few parishioners who will be taking the class, and I welcome more!  Dates and times for our sessions will be determined once the enrollment is firm - I will make every effort to schedule our meetings at a time that works for all involved.

I do hope you will contact me with any questions or concerns as you consider whether confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church is something you wish to pursue. I’d love to speak with you about it.
Peace,
