Your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may wish to consider affirming these promises and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. If you choose to be confirmed your family and friends as well as the Christian community will support and pray for you.<\/p>\n<p>This year the Old Town Partnership of Churches Confirmation Service takes place at 10am on Sunday, 31st May 2026 at Christ Church, Cricklade Street, Swindon SN1 3HB. We would love you to join us. The confirming ministers will be the Right Revd Neil Warwick, Bishop of Swindon, the Revd. Rach Collins (Bath Road) and the Revd Geoffrey Gleed (Immanuel).<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to explore confirmation, please contact the parish office 01793 522832 email <a href=\"mailto:parishoffice@christchurchswindon.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parishoffice@christchurchswindon.co.uk<\/a> or contact Revd.
