David Adams  I was born on September 3, 1991 in Columbus, Georgia, to Mona and Howard Adams. I have a younger brother, Cameron. I hope to be a Naval Seal when I grow up. I am active in Troop 2, play the trumpet, and help my Mother with the Children's program at St Matthew. God is great and has made my life great. My faith and growth as a Christian has expanded during the last two years of confirmation classes.

Jennifer Marie Lee Tadsen  My name is Jennifer Marie Lee Tadsen, and I was born in Fairbanks, Alaska on May 24, I992. My family and I moved to San Antonio, Texas, where I was baptized on January 8, I994. When I was about six, we moved to Maryville, Tennessee. I attended John Sevier Elementary School and Maryville Intermediate School. Half way through fifth grade, my family and I were moved into a two bedroom, one bathroom house. Finally, we moved out to Gaffney, South Carolina. Then we moved back to Tennessee, where my dad got a promotion. He got a job in Georgia, so we moved. Now, I live in Woodland, Georgia, and I loving it. I am being home schooled and I love my P.E. class because I can do anything that is like a sport. Some of my favorite things to do for P.E. are swimming, biking, skateboarding, rollerblading, and playing baseball. Things that I like to do for fun is learning how to play the guitar, playing with my animals and playing with my brothers. I am also growing in my Christian faith each day, even when I do not know it. What I do not like to do is work and cleaning, but I do it anyway. I have accomplished getting over my fears and I stopped caring what other people think of me. When I am seventeen, I will finish school. I may join the Air Force or I will wait till I am eighteen and just be a kid.

John Dale Giefing  My name is John Dale Giefing and I am 14 years old. I want to be a chef. I've helped with the Grill on Wheels. I'm good at math and enjoy playing paintball, video games, and outside with my friends. Ever since I started confirmation, I've become better at praying. I've learned different methods in how to pray and I want to continue to grow in my faith.

Tyler Ryan Bass Chappel  My name is Tyler Ryan Bass Chappel. I'm thirteen and some of my accomplishments are many different school awards. Another would be winning different soccer championships that I asked God to help my team and me. The most important though would be having a wonderful spiritual connection with God, which Pastor Barksdale has helped me achieve though his encouragement and willingness to help me. So, I'm pretty much just happy that I have that connection with Christ, who helped me with all my achievements.

Shawn Michael Giefing  Hi, my name is Shawn Michael Giefing. I am I 3 years old. I want to be a pro baseball and football player. I go to Harris County Carver Middle School. I am in the 8th grade. I am good at paintball, football, baseball, and skateboarding. Since confirmation, I have learned how to believe in God in my time of need.

Rebecca Margaret Loney  I was born on September 3, 1991, in Vallejo, California. I moved to Georgia in 1999 and after that my sister dove head first into school and sports. I play shortstop and second base for my softball team and I do three major projects a year for school. After high school, I would like to go to college and become a dental hygienist and possibly even go on to be a dentist. Through confirmation I have been able to read and understand the Bible better. I understand why we do things as a Christian.
