In the tradition of the Lutheran Church, Confirmation is a time set aside in a young person’s life for study and reflection in preparation for their public Affirmation of Faith. The student takes the faith of their parents expressed at baptism and makes it their own. This course of study leads up to the Rite of Confirmation the fall following the third year of study.
Lessons are connected to the everyday struggles and questions students have as they navigate the application of their Christian faith. Participating in Confirmation connects young people to Christian mentors and friends to encourage and give each one the ability and the desire to live a life of faith in Jesus Christ that will influence their daily activities and their decisions for life.
