Middle School

Welcome to confirmation at Northfield Community Church! Confirmation is an important and exciting program instructing youth in God’s Word and what it means for them in their life.

 Confirmation 2009-2010 at NCC will be the beginning of a new two year confirmation program which will include a once a month Saturday class consisting of classes for both first and second year students and a joint activity or field trip, lunch, and snacks. NCC’s confirmation program will also include completing sermon notes, times to assist in worship, and community service participation.

  First year confirmation is made up of 7th grade youth and second year confirmation will be 8th grade youth and up. Confirmation instruction is be led by Rev. Duayne Meyer and Ronda Bower. The layout of the new confirmation program is designed to give youth opportunities for faith growth in multiple ways and settings, to help youth to develop relationships with others in our NCC family, and to fit into the busy schedule of youth and families.
