Spring 2006 -- Share statement of faith with congregation.

Each year we host a Confirmation Class for those young persons interested in joining the church. Classes will be one hour in length, and will include lectures and discussions, films, field trips, and written assignments. There are a total of 20 classes plus an assignment to write a statement of faith to be shared with the session and the congregation when you join the church (usually in May).

Pastor Paul Smith will be teaching the class which is open to anyone in junior high or high school (grades 7-12). It is hard work, but also a lot of fun and, most importantly, it will provide a challenge for you to learn how to become an effective member of Christ's church.

If you intend to join, please notify the church office at office@wspc.org or (206) 935-4477 and include the following:
