Youth Sunday School begins with a time of fellowship and refreshments in the Youth Room, upstairs Spitzer Ed., at 9:30 a.m. Students move to their classes at 9:45, where a team of adult volunteers teach each class. These adults rotate every 4 weeks to allow time for them to attend adult Sunday School classes.

Confirmation Class is offered to students eight grade or above who, along with God and their parents, make the decision to join the church. Confirmands are paired with Adult Sponsors from the congregation, who serve as mentors throughout the school year. The yearlong class and confirmation activities begin in the Fall; confirmands are confirmed as members of the church on Palm Sunday.
