Common Questions
Sunday School is a small group oriented atmosphere where middle school students have an opportunity to explore their faith together while diving into key stories and scriptures from the Old and New Testament with their peers.
Confirmation is a season where students (8th grade-12th grade) explore their faith alongside their friends, guided by mentors, as they choose to follow Christ for themselves. Through weekly Confirmation sessions, students will have the chance to learn more about God and the Church, dig deeper into the Bible, ask tough questions, serve others, and discover what it means to be a follower of Christ. They will do this in a small group of their peers led by adult mentors. At the end of the Confirmation season, each student will be invited to make a public commitment to Christ and become a full member of our church community at our Confirmation Ceremony on Saturday, April 20th, with a celebration in worship on Sunday, April 21st. Confirmation has a $75 fee associated with the class. For scholarship information, reach out to Megan DelGrosso.
Discipleship Groups are small group oriented opportunities for high school students to grow deeper in their faith, focusing on what it means to live as a Biblical Leader, and what it looks like to live out your faith as a committed Christian. Our Discipleship Group opportunities include: Explore – Middle School Sunday School, Confirmation – 8th-12th grade, Lead – High School Discipleship Group, and Commit – 11th and 12th Grade Discipleship Group.
Explore
Middle School Sunday School is called Explore because students have the opportunity to explore important Old and New Testament stories and scriptures with their peers. The small group activities and discussion will encourage friendship and a sense of belonging to one another, the church and to God.
Confirmation
In Confirmation (8th-12th Grade), students learn and ultimately have an opportunity to choose for themselves whether they want to adopt the Christian faith as their own. Students will learn from expert teachers and caring mentors about the tradition of our faith and how it has been passed on over thousands of years. In small groups with their peers will ask tough questions, serve others and discover what it means to believe and follow Jesus. Confirmation culminates with a ceremony on the weekend of April 20-21 where students will make a public profession of their faith and become a full member of Resurrection. There is a $75 fee. For scholarship information, email students@cor.org.
Lead
This High School Discipleship Group focuses on Christian leadership skills and strategies and how those skills are utilized in school and the community. These activated skills enhance teamwork as students learn and practice in a small group. Lead culminates at an event called Lead KC in the Spring.
Commit
Students in grades 11–12 will learn more about themselves and why they believe what they believe in a world that may challenge faith beliefs formed at an earlier age. Questioning is encouraged, especially around difficult issues where there often seems to be conflicting answers. Commit culminates in an international trip in June.
