Confirmation Classes
Confirmation “class” is a place where young people learn about the promises God has made them and how this impacts their lives today. To understand this, we look deeply into the Word of God and see how God has worked throughout history and continues to work today.
What Grades are involved? 6th, 7th and 8th graders
What do they study? There are 3 modules:
Old Testament The Apostle’s Creed
New Testament The Lord’s Prayer
The 10 Commandments Lutheran Life (Baptism and Communion)
When are classes held? Classes are held on Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
How are classes taught? Our program is set up using a Large Group and Small Group format. The Large Group consists of all students in the same grade level taught by an adult. The Small Group consists of six to eight students led by an adult. The purpose of the Large Group is to present the main concept while the Small Group discusses how the concept relates to our lives today and shares a time of friendship and prayer.
What is the goal of Confirmation? The goal is for the students to understand how the Biblical material is relevant to THEM as they live their entire lives in relationship with God and with one another.
