Confirmation​ 2025

Are you interested in being confirmed in 2025?

Registration for classes has begun and we look forward to hearing from you.

Confirmation is available for teenagers throughout BC (even Washington State). Classes can be either virtual, physical, in-home, self-preparation, or a mix thereof. Maybe even held as a Summer Camp! When I know how many students I will have, I will touch base with everyone and arrange a unique program for the students to follow – a program that will take into consideration where they live, who they are, and what days they are available.

In Denmark almost 70% of the age group were confirmed in 2022 making it a widespread rite of passage between childhood and young adulthood. Also, confirmation confirms the promise given by God to each of us in our baptism. During the classes you will, as a student, get a chance to discover your own spirituality by learning about Christianity and participating in rituals.

If you are interested, write an email to Pastor Carsten before  August 20 2024.

Service​

Confirmation Sunday is (usually) the Sunday before Victoria Day in May.  You can get dressed up in your fancy clothes or wear something a little more personal, like a Folkedragt.

You and the other confirmands will say the Creed together. The pastor will ask you if you believe in God, you’ll say I do, and the pastor will bless you. Then you will say the Bible verses you have chosen for yourself—or maybe the pastor has chosen for you. These few lines of Scripture become surprisingly meaningful for many of us after some years.
