As a part of our Family Night we offer Wednesday night Christian Education (6:45pm – 7:30pm) in the Youth Room for high school students. Middle school students participate in Confirmation classes on Family Night, and will be assigned a Classroom 1, 2, or 3 based on their class size and year (CY1, CY2, CY3).   For more information on “Family Night” click here.

 

Confirmation is a 3-year program for middle school students in grades 6^th – 8^th, where they learn the foundations of the Christian faith.  The goal of the Confirmation process is to engage youth in a life-long journey of faith including participation in the body of Christ (the Church). The purpose of confirmation ministry is to provide an intentional opportunity for baptized Christians who desire to deepen and explore their faith, read and study scripture in community, and learn about Christ’s church through the lens of the Lutheran tradition. During the first year (CY1) the students will learn about the Lord’s Prayer, Sacraments, and Bible fundamentals. Second year students (CY2) learn about the 10 Commandments and the Apostle’s Creed (a statement of faith).  Third year students (CY3) learn how God’s Word applies to their life today.  In CY3 students select a Bible verse which has significant meaning to them to be their confirmation verse.   At the end of Confirmation the students stand before the congregation and confirm their faith.

The Gathering: Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus Christ and learn about the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity. The next Gathering is in 2025 in New Orleans.  All high school students (even those graduating 2025), and those rising into 9^th Grade age 14+ in 2025, are able to attend the Gathering. Please contact Rebekah for more information.
