| Confirmation Statements of Faith |

The first Statement of Faith was written by a mentor of one of our confirmands. Although all confirmation mentors were asked to write a Statement of Faith, this was the only mentor statement that was shared during the 2008 confirmation services. It is printed here by special request of the pastor and some members of our congregation.
Statement of Faith in Doubt - J.J. (mentor)
I?d like to start with two testaments, ? one older and one modern, just like Beth and Craig do. First, from the Kena Upanishad, a Hindu sacred text: "He who thinks he knows, doesn?t know. He who knows that he doesn?t know, knows."

God is an omniscient, omnipotent being that sees and hears all but cannot be seen heard or felt. Knowing what God is, is very important in order to believe.

Sitting down and trying to think about who or what I believe god is has definitely been hard. I don?t only come to church because I?m forced to, or to see people, but I feel like I have a place where I can sit and connect with whoever god is.

The Bible teaches us to believe that there is only one GOD but I believe that there are three different dimensions: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit--all in one.

| I believe in family, family not limited to your parents. The church is a family; your friends are another family; any group of people that will support you, no matter what your troubles are, is your family. |

Since the beginning of confirmation class this has been the one thing I have been dreading most: writing down what I think about God and then reading it in front of the church.
