Grades 7 & 8 – Confirmation

The Confirmation program is a special opportunity for students in grades 7 & 8 to continue their faith journey as they learn more about Christianity in the Lutheran tradition. This program will prepare the students to affirm the vows that were made for them at their baptism. Karen Albert-McFadden, Director of Youth and Student Ministries, and Joyce Roy, long-time Confirmation volunteer, will be the primary moderators of the class. Pastors Horner, Brock, and Frey will also be spending time with the students during this program.

Most classes will include teambuilding and engaging interactive activities that apply to youth today. Class attendance and participation are the most critical part of the program. There will be no quizzes. Youth will instead complete some written, thought-provoking application assignments.

Confirmation classes will begin on Sunday, September 14, at 9:45 am. Parents are required to attend with their child on the first Sunday only. We will provide an overview of the program and address any questions in that session. If you have any questions prior to that date, please contact Karen directly. Please use the form below to register your child prior to September 7. 

Special notes: Children who were in 8th grade last year will be confirmed on Saturday, October 25. Children who were in 7th grade last year are automatically enrolled in class this year (no need to register again.) Watch your emails for information about the upcoming year. If your child is older and is interested in being confirmed, please reach out to Karen Albert-McFadden to discuss.
