Confirmation class is generally taught for students in grades 6, 7, and 8, though special circumstances regarding when a student begins the curriculum may be accommodated. First, second, and third-year students are taught together.
Our confirmation class meets on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. using hybrid technology so that we can have youth join in-person or online together. We use a three-year rotation cycle to study scripture, Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, church history, and world religions.
The goal of our time together is to guide our youth in developing their own language of the Christian faith and accompany them to affirming their baptismal promises at the end of their 8th-grade year.
Confirmation class begins on Rally Day in September with an orientation and ends on the first Sunday of May each year with a celebration brunch. The curriculum culminates in a public Affirmation of Baptism and the completion of a “Confirmation Project” in a celebrative Confirmation Sunday service in May of each year.
If you have any questions, please contact Deacon Ben Remmert.
