Faith Inkubators ("FINK") Confirmation Instruction

Children who are baptized may participate in confirmation instruction beginning in grade 7. Our FINK ministry is a two-year program with large group learning events and retreats, and small group discussion, fellowship and servant events. Following two years of instruction, youth in grade 9 or older affirm their baptism at worship on Reformation Sunday in late October.

FINK learning events meet on the first and third Mondays of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Small groups schedule their own fellowship and servant events at other times during the month. To register your child or for more information about FINK, please speak with the Pastor or contact the church office.
