Confirmation is an opportunity for 8th graders to take a meaningful step in their faith journey. Students explore the Bible, Christian beliefs, and what it means to live as a follower of Jesus. By the end, they will be ready to take ownership of their faith and make the commitment to become members at Horizons.
Special Opportunity: Horizons understands that grandparents and family members often want to celebrate their student's faith milestones. If you or a family member would like to honor this event for your student, a gift to our new endowment is a great way to celebrate.
Fill out this optional endowment gift form and they'll receive a special certificate to commemorate this milestone.
