One of the most important aspects of the life of a congregation is to provide religious education and guidance so that young people can make a commitment of faith in Jesus Christ. At Church of the Lakes we provide a wonderful opportunity called confirmation which is intended to give young people a great base from which they can make a decision to follow the Lord. Confirmation introduces essential Christian beliefs, encourages active discipleship, and allows for experiences which will give perspective on the decisions that youth make regarding their faith. *Click HERE to get the Schedule & Registration Form.
