The Oasis United Church of Christ, located in Jefferson City, Missouri, held its first ever Confirmation Service on May 21st 2023, welcoming two young people into the family. During worship, each candidate shared a statement of faith, or baptismal vows, either written by themselves or written on their behalf.

“To be in a community of faith means I have a second family,” praised one candidate. “I don’t know how my faith in God will shape my future, but by believing in God, He will always lead me on the right path.”

“Confirmation means that I am about to begin my faith journey. I will learn more about myself and about what it means to be one of God’s disciples,” mentioned the second candidate.

Rev. Rushan Sinnaduray reminded the candidates, “We confirm our commitment to our young people, to be for them a home, their True North, to be a community who will always love and accept them, encourage and inspire them, a community which will never ever judge them.”

Congratulations to both candidates!
