Confirmation
What is confirmation?
Confirmation is a two-year class designed for adolescents (typically grades 7-8). This class is a continuation of the Biblical education they have already received at home and in Sunday School. Confirmation is designed to help students “confirm” their faith as they grow from children to adults. Confirmation classes are rooted in Church history and are designed to come alongside the disciple-making that parents do with their children.
The content we cover utilizes the Bible, Luther’s Small Catechism and explanation, and an online confirmation curriculum developed by a fellow pastor in the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations. Students will go through the content of the New Testament in its entirety twice during confirmation. They will study the 10 Commandments, The Apostle’s Creed, The Lord’s Prayer, and The Means of Grace - God’s Word, Baptism, and The Lord’s Supper. Students also have a prayer journal that they will begin using, helping practice the spiritual disciplines of silence, solitude, and prayer.
