Newman Innovation Lab
Are you pursuing a dream? Are you responding to one of the world’s needs? The Innovation Lab is a program that brings the backing and support of Newman Church behind the dreams and insights of teenagers! Young folks are matched with two church mentors who support them over the course of a school year to organize a church effort behind a dream or intervention. Applications are received all year long and the program begins on a rolling basis. Request a Youth Innovation Lab application from the church office>>
Confirmation
This is an annual program of spiritual investigation for young people, often toward the beginning of high school, to learn about the Christian tradition as it impacts their lives today. Each year’s program is tailored around the interests and curiosities of interested students. Through the program, students come to make personal choices about being part of a Christian community as one important part of a well-rounded life. At the end, participants are invited to consider whether they would like to positively “confirm” their membership in the church community! Request more information>>
