Confirmation

Confirmation classes are held for students in 6th through 8th grade. These classes meet most every Wednesday from September through April. Our goals for the Confirmation process are as follows:

• You give yourself whole-heartedly to God and seek to know God’s will for your life.
• You take Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, who you will follow all the days of your life.
• You depend on God’s Holy Spirit to guide you in all you do.

The 6th and 7th Grade classes meet together from 3:30 to 5:15 p.m.  In addition to working through the Heidelberg Catechism, we also study through four workbooks during these 2 years of class time. The work books are titled as follows:

• The Word on the Old Testament
• The Word on the New Testament
• The Word on the Basics of Christianity
• The Word on the Life of Christ

The 8th Grade confirmation class meets together from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.  In addition to working through the Heidelberg Catechism, we also have Journal Lessons each week. These require asking certain questions of congregation members and recording their answers; taking sermon notes almost every other Sunday; and reading through the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts, taking notes on each chapter.  The 8th Grade Students also work to develop a personal Faith Statement which is read on Confirmation Sunday.
