DUC Youth Group Spring 2020 Schedule

Confirmation

Every year, usually in the Spring, young people in Grade 7 and up are invited to join our minister for our Youth Confirmation program. During these sessions, you will explore your faith and what it means to belong to the United Church. At the end of this special time together, if you choose, you will be welcomed as a full member of Duncan United Church and the United Church of Canada.
