Confirmation at First Lutheran Church is intended to help support parents/families in fulfilling promises made when their child was baptized.

The following responsibilities/promises were made during your child’s baptism.

From the Evangelical Lutheran book of Worship:
As you bring your child to receive the gift of baptism, you are entrusted with responsibilities:
to live with them among God’s faithful people,

bring them to the word of God and the holy supper,

teach them the Lord’s Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments,

place in their hands the Holy Scriptures,

and nurture them in faith and prayer,

so that your children may learn to trust God,

proclaim Christ through word and deed,

care for others and the world God made,

and work for justice and peace.

During Confirmation, 6th, 7th and 8th graders will participate in a variety of learning/fellowship events that encourage them to grow their faith. During these years they will spend time learning more about the Bible, Luther’s Small Catechism and prayer. Youth spend time together in both large group settings and small group time with an adult guide/mentor. Confirmation begins in September and continues into May, meeting most Wednesday nights.

Students are confirmed during the fall of their ninth grade year. They affirm their faith during a special worship service that is student led on Reformation Sunday, the last Sunday of October each year.
