Confirmation
Jesus promised his disciples that they would be baptised in Spirit and Fire, which means to be immersed in the life of God himself, to fully be Christian.
It is an important step in the process of developing a mature Christian faith.
Confirmation is available for Young adults in Years 10 and 11, although it is possible to wait until becoming older to receive the sacrament.
“My experience in the church has been amazing, especially with my confirmation group. My fellow confirmandies are really lovely and make me feel at home and the adults in the group who help us have guided me and helped me feel closer to God. It’s been a blast and makes me excited to come to church, to pray, worship and experience the welcoming community”

“On the day of my baptism and confirmation, I experienced being very happy, pleased of having accomplished my desire to be closer to God. It was a beautiful and magical day! I could feel such a good and positive energy coming from everyone at church. People were welcoming us, happily, filled with joy. My colleagues and I were surprised when being congratulated by people we did not know, but realising we actually did because they are our sisters, brothers in the house of God.”
