Faith Seeking Journey
A weekly process of Christian formation and education in preparation for baptism, confirmation, reception, or reaffirmation. This process is a time for training in Christian understandings about God, human relationships, and the meaning of life. Candidates participate in regular worship and Christian service, and receive instruction in Christian faith and doctrine, including the scriptures. Entry into the process begins with a public liturgical act at the principal Sunday liturgy. Each person is presented by a sponsor who normally accompanies them throughout the process. The sessions are led by a catechist, and continue through the period of candidacy until baptism, confirmation, reception, or reaffirmation.
Leaders: Judy Huffman, David & Paulette Caraghar
