Confirmation

Our hope is that each activity and event will ultimately help students develop a stronger connection with God and with others.

Confirmation classes are held on Sunday afternoon, from September through May, for 7th and 8th graders.

 Basic Objectives of the Confirmation Program:

1. To assist youth in their spiritual journey in relationship to God, other people and other creatures and all created things.

2. To provide basic understandings of Christian faith as a basis for decision-making and the living of life in a responsible and enjoyable way.

3. To encourage commitment to one's faith and life and the deepening of a young person's identity with the Body of Christ as we know it particularly in the Lutheran church.

4. To encourage and provide opportunity for participation in the life of the congregation and to experience ways of giving service and justice to people in the community and organizations which serve persons with special needs, locally and beyond.

5. To give youth familiarity with and practical use of the Bible, the Small Catechism of Martin Luther and the Lutheran Book of Worship.

6. To offer opportunity for youth to make a personal affirmation of faith through the Rite of Confirmation.
