Confirmation Class

Were you baptized in the Episcopal Church as a child but never confirmed, and now desire to live out your faith in the Episcopal Church? The rite of Confirmation is for you!

Were you baptized and confirmed in a Christian denomination other than the Episcopal Church and now wish formally to join the Episcopal Church? The rite of Reception is for you!

Were you baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal Church, but in a parish other than Saint Andrew's? The rite of Reaffirmation of Faith is for you!

The sacramental rites of Confirmation, Reception, and Reaffirmation of Faith mark a formal, public affirmation of one’s faith and desire to walk the Way of Jesus with others in the Episcopal Church and as members of the worldwide Anglican Communion. These rites are a celebration of one's baptism and are celebrated by the prayers and laying on of hands by our recently consecrated Bp. Richard Lawson.

We are organizing a series of classes this fall to explore the essentials of Christian faith and discipleship, an overview of the history and sacraments of the Episcopal Church, and the mission and ministry of Saint Andrew's.

A schedule will be determined in conversation with those who register in order to accommodate everyone’s needs. We ask that those who wish to be confirmed, received, and to reaffirm their faith attend at least five of the six classes. For more information and to register, please contact Fr. Peter Helman (rector@standrewsbham.org).
