The classes are held weekly, usually beginning with the start of the Lenten season and culminating on Pentecost Sunday.

Youth Ministries lead the weekly classes, with the mentors of all confirmation candidates participating as needed. A confirmation retreat also is planned during this time, as well as other activities that bring the youth, mentors and leaders together for learning, fellowship and fun.
