Affirmation of Baptism

In biblical times, people often set up stones along the road to remember significant moments in their journey. In a similar way, families of faith today are invited to pause and mark important steps along their spiritual journey. One of these important steps is Affirmation of Baptism. In this service, middle schoolers publicly say “yes” to the promises made in baptism.

To prepare, students take part in a three-year process that includes worship involvement, learning together, community engagement, and acts of service. Along the way, they participate in retreats during 6th and 7th grade, spend a week at Camp Wapo after 8th grade, and then affirm their baptism in a special worship service in the fall of 9th grade.
