Grades 5 & 6

Is the Bible really true? How do all the stories connect? How do I find answers? How do I come to know Jesus? Shepherd’s Pre-Confirmation program encourages and welcomes youth to ask questions and study what the Bible teaches. All students will be learning the New Testament.

Pre-Confirmation is Sunday mornings at 9:30am | Room LL-15 (Science Lab)

Confirmation Class for the summer is for the new 7th and 8th Graders. Classes will start in the Colonnades and might move outside for activities. Summer sessions are for topical Bible studies, fun, fellowship, and group building. Attendance is not required during the summer and normal "class" will start the Sunday after Labor Day.

Confirmation begins Sunday mornings at 9:20am in the Colonnades (LL-21). The program runs year-round with summer sessions focused on relationship building. (Click here for a room location map)

Missions encourage our  junior high and high school youth to serve our Lord through servant events and mission opportunities throughout the year. Youth get to participate in mission opportunities and experience them with their friends and family. 

Every activity includes some servant project with a monthly off campus event to serve our community. Every other year, they have the opportunity to travel to the Navajo Nation with families from our church.

Upcoming Events:

Breakfast with Baby: Youth can help with our church-wide monthly mission of Breakfast with Baby. They can help by setting up, serving, helping parents with their children, and clean up.

Sandwich Sundays: Our whole Shepherd community comes together to make sandwiches and lunches for some of Denver's homeless population. We deliver them to homeless in Civic Center Park in Downtown Denver. Stay tuned for future dates.

Navajo Mission Trip: On the off years of the National Youth Gathering, our high school students are invited to serve the Navajo Nation by spending a week leading Vacation Bible School, a sports camp, and building relationships with the Navajo people. Our next trip will be in the Summer of 2023. Click here for more information.
