ST PAUL CONFIRMATION
MENTORS
Mentoring is linking a young person with a practicing adult Christian who regularly worships and is a member of our congregation. It is an opportunity for the mentor and the confirmation student to share together what it means to live and grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ and as a member of his church.
Mentoring is intended to provide personal support, encouragement and accountability for Confirmation participants.
Mentoring aims to develop cross-generational sense of Christian community, whereby members of all generations belong together, care for and encourage one another as members of one body of Christ.
