7th-12th Grade: Confirmation
Confirmation is a one-year exploration of the Christian faith and its relations to other faiths. Students are encouraged to engage their beliefs in a critical manner one-on-one with their mentors, with the pastor, and in large group Round Tables. Mission trips and retreats like the 30-Hour famine and Chicago Urban Immersion add a more experiential flavor.

- With the other UCC churches of the greater Milwaukee/Waukesha area, we will fast for the weekend to see what it feels like to live in hunger, as well as hands-on working in a food kitchen and a shelter. Reflection time will center around why people are hungry, and what in our own hungry bodies would keep us from doing the things we usually do in our lives.
