Confirmation classes for adults
Adult confirmation classes offer a chance to explore faith, life and its big questions together. You can reflect on what gives life meaning and where you find your place in the world.
Open to all ages
Adult confirmation classes may be relevant if:
- you have been asked to become a godparent
- you are planning to get married in church
- you want to join the Church
- you are interested in learning more about the Christian faith and exploring the meaning of life
Adult confirmation classes usually conclude with confirmation, which gives you the full rights of a confirmed Church member. You can also attend confirmation classes without being confirmed. However, if you have been asked to become a godparent, you will also need to be confirmed.
Adult confirmation classes are free of charge and take approximately 20 hours to complete. They are planned flexibly together with a pastor from your local parish to fit your life situation and schedule.
When you are ready to start adult confirmation classes, contact the pastor responsible for adult confirmation classes in your local parish. You can use the link below to find out which parish you belong to.
Confirmation classes for adults
Adult confirmation classes can be completed individually or in a group, either in person or online.
Individual confirmation classes
Individual confirmation classes consist of one-to-one discussions with a pastor who guides you through the process. Meetings can take place either in person or online.
Group confirmation classes
Adult confirmation classes can also be completed in a group. Each group follows a plan designed specifically for them. It may include, for example, five group sessions as well as independent study. If needed, group confirmation classes can be completed over a single weekend.
Ask your local parish about upcoming adult confirmation classes. Groups are organised based on interest and demand.
