What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is a two-year faith formation program for youth in the seventh and eighth grades. Young Jesus followers study the Bible and Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, which emphasizes the Ten Commandments, Apostles’ Creed, Lord’s Prayer, Baptism, and Holy Communion. This year will be our Bible year. We will survey the Old and New Testaments.
