Lesson 1 of 4
WHAT IS CONFIRMATION?
In this lesson Dave walks through what confirmation is all about—and what it’s not about. We discuss what the Rite of Confirmation is, too, and where this process of confirmation is supported in the Bible to remind us that it’s a great step forward in our faith journey with Jesus.
Lesson 2 of 4
THE LORD'S PRAYER
In this lesson Dave teaches on the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus gave us this prayer, and there are so many unique and special aspects of it that we need to pay attention to. In this lesson we take a deep look at the intro, seven petitions, and conclusion of the Lord’s Prayer.
Lesson 3 of 4
THE APOSTLES CREED
Who even wrote the Apostles’ Creed? In this lesson, Pastor Troy helps us learn about what a creed is, why creeds are important, and what the Apostles’ Creed says about our faith as Christians. The creed unites us in our beliefs with Christians throughout history and across the world!
Lesson 4 of 4
HOW TO READ THE BIBLE
The Bible is composed of books and testaments, chapters and verses. What’s it all mean? Why are there so many different “types” (translations) of the Bible? In this lesson Pastor Troy walks through these and more questions to help us understand the Bible and how to get the most out of it when we read it.

JH WINTER RETREAT
The JH Winter Retreat will be our Spring Intensive for our confirmation program. It is open to all our JH students (grades 6-8) and will include confirmation-specific teaching, but will also be filled with worship, games, and valuable time together, all at Camp ALOMA outside of Prescott, AZ (yes, we’re hoping for snow).
