Do you have an incoming 7th or 8th grader? It’s time to start thinking about confirmation—a meaningful journey where youth explore the Bible, Lutheran faith, and what it means to live out their baptismal promises.
Confirmation students will gather 1–2 times a month on Sunday evenings for two hours. Each session includes a shared meal, a lesson, and time to build community with peers. Exact dates will be sent out by mid-August.
Confirmation is typically for 7th and 8th graders, but if your child is in high school and has not yet been confirmed, they are encouraged to join.
