The Episcopal Church urges all its baptized members to make a mature public affirmation of their baptismal promises, and since the earliest centuries of the Church, this happens in the presence of a bishop, who "confirms" their faith. Though often seen as a rite of passage for teenagers, in truth Confirmation is appropriate for people at any stage of life who are ready to make this important affirmation. Candidates for youth confirmation share in a year-long process of preparation, and adult candidates participate in The Way, our extensive catechumenate (teaching and formation) program, that is offered in the Fall and Spring.

Some people come to The Episcopal Church from other Christian traditions and have already experienced Confirmation, so they are "Received" by the bishop into our church. This action of "being confirmed" or "received" into the Episcopal Church demonstrates that your membership is not merely of this local parish but of the entire Christian Church of which the Bishop is representative.

Youth seeking Confirmation should contact our Director of Youth Ministries. Adults seeking Confirmation or Reception into the Episcopal Church should contact Mtr. Rebecca Tankersley.
