Confirmation 2025

Immanuel’s Confirmation Class is an opportunity for students to learn what it truly means to be a Christian and a member of Christ’s church. Ultimately, the confirmation experience leads to an opportunity for each student to make a public profession of faith in Christ and to join Immanuel Church as a full member. Our confirmation experience is always one that we encourage youth to participate in because we often see an extraordinary connection between their confirmation experience and youth ministry participation. The vast majority of youth who have participated in confirmation have become consistently involved in our youth ministry where they are given many opportunities to grow in Christ!

Our Confirmation Class of 2025, offered to current 7th and 8th grade students and possibly those who perhaps couldn’t participate in the past, will consist of the following:

12 Wednesday evening classes beginning on January 8th (Parent Night), which will focus on what we call, “The (16) Absolute Basics of the Christian Faith” and Spiritual Practices.
A Confirmation Overnight held from January 10th to January 11th at Immanuel’s Central Campus, which will focus on team building and service.
A Confirmation Retreat held from April 25th to April 27th at Potter’s Ranch in Union, KY, which will focus on relationship building, worship, and the means of God’s grace, which is nearly 2/3 of our experience.
Confirmation Sunday on May 4th, where confirmands will have the opportunity to profess their faith in Christ and their intention to join our church, if they so choose.

Youth Fall Retreat 2024

Youth Fall Retreat 2024

November 1-3 | Ruggles Retreat Center

6th - 12th Grade Youth Invited (Grade Specific Small Groups)

Cost - $80 (Tiered Pricing Available)

Our theme this year is - “EVERYTHING”

Everything is the perfect word to describe whatever means the most in life. So, what if you could have everything you need for everything in life? Sound too good to be true? Well, it might not be that far off. According to Jesus, one thing matters more than anything else: love. So, what would it look like if love were everything in our lives? In the way we treat others, in the way we see God, and even in the way we view ourselves. When love is everything, we discover the kind of life God created us to live in the first place. During this retreat, our youth will find practical ways to apply Jesus’ greatest commandment to their everyday lives. As we learn together how to love God, others, and ourselves, we’ll also discover that Jesus’ words and example are everything they need for the life they really want.

CIY MIX 2024 Middle School

Do you feel pressured? To measure up? To be the best, the brightest, the funniest, the prettiest, the strongest?

Do you wonder what you’re going to do with the rest of your life? Does all your striving, all your efforts to keep up, to stand out, to be noticed, to make someone proud only to lead to being tired, exhausted, burnt out, worn out, fatigued, and weary?

If so, then Jesus has something he wants you to hear, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Join us this summer and let Jesus give you the REST of your life - for the rest of your life.
