Confirmation is one of the sacramental rites of the church. In this liturgy, the participant makes a public affirmation of his or her faith and presents himself before the bishop for the laying on of hands. The bishop prays for a strengthening and empowering of the person by action of the Holy Spirit. In the Episcopal Church, the diocese, rather than the congregation, is the institutional unit, and all members come under the care of the diocesan bishop. Therefore, in order to become a member of the Episcopal Church, one must be presented to the bishop in this manner. The liturgy also makes provision for "reception" for those already confirmed in another church, and for re-affirmation of baptismal vows for those already confirmed in the Episcopal Church but desiring to make a public statement of faith.
Adults wishing to become confirmed are required to complete either the Inquirer's Class and Living Members Class (offered each year on Sunday mornings) or the Journey in Faith series (offered each year on Wednesday nights) before being confirmed at the next bishop's visit. Adults interested in confirmation should contact the Rev. Virginia Herring at 272-6149 ext. 220 or .
Confirmation classes for teens are also offered through Holy Trinity's youth program. For more information, contact Anne-Barton Carter, Christian education director, at 272-6149 ext. 221 or .
