Confirmation
Confirmation/Middle School Ministry
Our confirmation program is for youth 6th through 9th grades. We meet weekly on Wednesdays at 5:00 p.m. for a light supper and then get into our classes for the 6-8 grades. Sixth through eighth graders study the Bible in the weekly classes and focus on the Small Catechism of Martin Luther on two retreats each year. Confirmation Camp at Vermilion is strongly recommended. Ninth graders do not have weekly classes but spend time in the fall of their ninth grade year preparing a faith statement in preparation for Confirmation Day on Reformation Sunday.
