Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized.
If you were baptized at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family as well as the local Christian community will be there to promise to support and pray for you.
The local bishop will lay their hands on your head and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give you the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of your life.
If you are interested in confirmation, we invite you to come along to a church service and speak to a member of the clergy afterwards.
We hold preparation classes for confirmation at different times throughout the year and would love to talk to you about whether joining these sessions might be right for you.
