Protestant reformed confirmation is more than a one or two year program of study culminating in church membership for adolescents. This thesis explores biblical, historical and social contexts to show how a meaningful confirmation program endeavors to proclaim Christ to new and succeeding generations. Its purpose is to challenge church adults to understand their role in the discipleship of their children. The thesis project shows how a particular congregation studied the issues involved and developed an organizational strategy by which a more meaningful program could be instituted in the life of its church. This is not only a research project; it is the story of a people who searched for a new understanding, struggled with the issues, and dared change a tradition which was no longer serving the needs of their youth. This work offers a model for reformed churches seeking to make a greater impact through their confirmation ministries.
