 Middle School Confirmation Ministry 
Confirmation Class

Confirmation
is an intentional time of faith education and exploration for youth during their 6th-8th grade years. The focus of instruction for Fall of 2011 is on the Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments. Confirmation is voluntary and is not a sacrament of the Lutheran church. Those choosing to participate do so as part of our lifelong calling to education and growth in God’s Word.

Confirmation runs the length of the school year starting in late August early September and ending in early May. Confirmation meets all but the last Wednesday of the month from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Participation in this ministry is required for Lutheran youth in grades 6-8 to be confirmed.
