Confirmation at St Nicholas

​

Since early Christianity, confirmation has been a way of Christians  acknowledging their baptism in public and being ‘confirmed’ by a Bishop,  who represents the wider church family.

​

Nowadays, many adults and young people who are confirmed do so as a way of ‘owning’ or ‘confirming’ their baptism as a child; but many adults also get baptised and confirmed in the same service (which was how it happened in the earliest days, before it became harder to find a bishop to be at every baptism!).

Confirmation is adult rite of public declaration of faith. However, at St Nicholas we prepare, and admit children to Communion from 8 years old, for more information please visit our Admitting Children to Holy Communion page.

​

​

​

Our Confirmation services are usually held annually, either at St Nicholas or another local church in the Diocese.

​

We run courses each year for those who are considering being confirmed. The courses offer an overview of the Christian faith and a chance to explore our own personal questions.

​

Attending a course doesn’t mean you have to get confirmed; but we do ask that all those wanting to be confirmed attend a course.

​

If you are interested in being confirmed please contact us.
