Confirmation - 8th Grade
Faith is a life long, ever-changing journey.
Our 8th grade students spend a year thinking intentionally about their faith journey. That process may culminate in them publicly professing their faith at our fall Confirmation Sunday. That process may culminate in them needing more time and space to figure out where they are at. Both of those options, and everything in between, is a-ok with us at Centennial. Jesus invites us into an authentic faith, and we all figure out that journey on their own time.
Want your student to join this process?

Youth Mission Trips
Road trips + serving others + awesomeness + God sightings
= Centennial Youth summer mission trips!
These week-long trips are often transformative for our high school and middle school students. Taking time away from normal life, they have space to connect more deeply with their faith, see God at work in different social contexts then their own, and make new friends!

Students grades 6-12 are welcome to join us on a local mission trip in June serving the needs of our community, sleeping at our two church campuses and being God’s hands and feet for our neighbors next door!

Questions about Scouts on St. Anthony Park's Campus?
Milestones are the significant cultural and developmental markers that we experience throughout our lives.
They are our firsts. There are ordinary firsts of steps and teeth, walking and talking. There are also firsts of our faith life: baptism, beginning Sunday School, receiving a Bible, and more. Centennial’s Milestone Ministry helps to make a connection between our everyday lives and our faith life.

Are you or your loved one experiencing mental illness and/or addiction?
Do you need support as you grieve a recent loss and/or transition? We want to help:
Growing Through Loss Grief Support Group
Anyone experiencing grief or loss is invited to attend Growing Through Loss, a six-week series providing support for those who have lost a spouse, child, parent, friend or sibling; or for those dealing with a divorce or separation; pregnancy loss; loss to suicide; job change; or relocation.
This 6-week series provides an opportunity for individuals to obtain information and support for a variety of loss and grief issues. Each session begins with an educational presentation by a professional from the community, followed by small groups facilitated by leaders who understand the grieving process. Although there is no cost, donations are welcome. Registration takes place each evening before the program. Church affiliation is not necessary. Each session is complete in itself; attend any or all sessions. Free childcare is available, but please call a week in advance so they are prepared for your children.
