General Overview

Confirmation is for students in grades 7 - 9.  There is also a separate pre-confirmation class just for 6th graders.  Confirmation is an educational program of the church devoted to teaching the basics of the Christian faith and strengthening growing faiths so that the students can with integrity proclaim their faith in Jesus Christ and live it out in their lives. 

Confirmation is a partnership between Christian homes (the first and primary place where faith is taught) and the faith community, where youth are nurtured and supported by church staff and caring lay adults.  The confirmation program centers on Scripture and Luther’s Small Catechism, while a big group/small group format encourages varied styles of learning and promotes Christian community and mission.

The cost for Confirmation is $25 per child ($45 maximum per family).

Chat Room

Abby Simon, DiAnna Olsen & Pete & Heidi Woods will rotate as leaders.

Chat room lasts for one hour and the time may be used as a credit toward confirmation worship notes.  Students may earn one credit for each chat room attended, with a maximum of 5 credits toward worship notes.
