What is
Confirmation?
Confirmation is a vital component of the ryeX Youth Ministry. Students eighth grade and older, have the opportunity to explore, question, and enrich their faith in a safe environment. This is their time to claim their faith as their own by professing Jesus as their Savior and Lord, and then becoming members of the church. Students take a look at the fundamentals of the Christian faith as well as important aspects of Presbyterianism.
Class of 2025
Welcome to our ryeX Confirmation page. On this page, you will be able to find our schedule, registration links, information about individual events, and so much more! During Confirmation, we strive to teach students about God in an engaging and interactive way. Through our 12 classes, students will cover a variety of material about God, the church, and the greater Christian community. If you have any questions about confirmation, feel free to contact Kerri Irwin at kerri@roswellpres.org.
Confirmation classes are generally held on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:30 a.m., beginning in October and continuing through March.
Students are expected to attend all classes, the service day, both services with other congregations, and all three scheduled RPC worship services. Students are allowed no more than two excused absences. If students miss a class, they must notify their teachers in order to make up the material.
Service Project
During Confirmation, students have the opportunity to put their faith in action by working with RPC’s local mission partners. Students will complete short term and long term service projects based on their interests and the class’s consensus of projects close their hearts.
Visiting Congregations
Students will have two opportunities to worship with other churches. Afterwards, we will debrief, ask questions, and share experiences. This is a required part of confirmation and counts for two separate classes. Parents are welcome but not required

Mentors are an invaluable part of the confirmation process.
Each student is paired with an adult from RPC who has agreed to spend time building a relationship with that student. Mentors get to know the students, help them work through questions along the way, worship with them, assist them in writing their statement of faith, and pray for them.
