Confirmation
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the candidates "express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop" (BCP, p. 860). We host a special class once a year for students wishing to make this "mature commitment" Our next confirmation class will be held in the fall of 2023.
Junior Daughters of the King
Junior Daughters of the King provides girls or young women the opportunity to grow in their love and knowledge of Jesus Christ while serving their church and community. They are an integral part of the Daughters of the King Order and the hope is that they continue the mission of The Order by transitioning to senior Daughters.
JDOK is open to all girls and young women ages 7-21.
Spring dates: 2/12, 3/5, 4/2, 5/7
