Every year, St. Matthew's and St. Mark's team up to use a confirmation program for youth called Confirm not Conform or CnC.

​

Confirm not Conform is focused on helping young people ask tough questions and search out answers. Through innovative sessions, field trips, mentor relationships, and the challenge to do a whole lot more than just learn a few facts, CnC lets youth take real responsibility for understanding their faith and its power. When they do - when they see the church and faith as something that truly belongs to them - it builds a bond that lasts.

​

After concluding the program, as a sign of their ability to take charge of their own spiritual life, each youth chooses whether or not to be confirmed. All participants, whatever their decision, are honored in a special service dedicated to their work, exploration, and discoveries.
