Westminster Presbyterian Church

 Confirmation Class 2008-2009

CREDO is a discipleship program available to all students who will be entering grades eight through twelve.  CREDO seeks to engage students in discovering what it means to be a follower of and profess faith in Jesus Christ as well as becoming a member of His church.  The format is based on small groups, a web based-curriculum, families, and worship.  It is our hope and prayer that students who participate in this program, from September through April, will have a better understanding of their faith and the beauty found in being connected to a local church. Students completing the CREDO class will be commissioned as members of either Dilworthtown Community Church or Westminster Presbyterian Church in one of six services between the two church campuses.

CREDO works through a curriculum that divides the year into two parts:

Knowing Christ and Making Christ Known
