Confirmation is a two-year program for students in 7th and 8th grade. Our program is centered on four key experiences for our youth: Belonging & Community, Meaningful Worship Participation, Faithful Learning, and Impactful Service. These areas of focus will be achieved through Worship at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church, weekly classes, a Mentor Program, and Service Opportunities.

Confirmation classes for both 7th and 8th graders will be held on Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 PM to 3:45 PM. We will meet as a large group, and our teaching focus (catechism) will rotate between a specific Bible focus and a Lutheran Theology focus (themes and thinking about God). During these two years, you will also begin to develop a relationship with a Mentor from the congregation.

Following our class time, all 5th-8th graders are invited to join our YOUth Group from 3:45 PM to 4:30 PM for fellowship and fun.

After the two years of Confirmation, 9th graders will Affirm their Baptism at a Confirmation Service that will take place on the last Sunday in October during the 9:30 AM worship service. This special service is a significant step in their faith journey.

Class Participation: We encourage all students to make their faith life a focal priority, and during this season that includes confirmation. Confirmation is a great opportunity to ask important faith questions, to grow in your faith, and to grow close with your peers and church friends that may last a lifetime. We know that there are competing commitments that we all have. Just know, I’m excited and planning on seeing you at all of the scheduled classes unless you let me know ahead of time of your absence. I understand things come up, so when they do, please let me know! You can text or call me, email me, or even drop me a paper note at church. Communication is so important in all relationships, and if something is going on, we can make a plan so you don’t miss out.
