Explore

The “Explore” program has replaced our traditional confirmation class as a way for students to dig deeper into what it means to live out the Christian Faith. It is NOT a confirmation class, but a special time for students and their mentors to “Explore” what faith means for them through twelve weeks of action and reflection with others.
