Confirmation
Class
The purpose of confirmation is to help confirmands:
*
Personally confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and take
personal ownership in declaring, by the power of the Holy Spirit, their
own allegiance to Christ;
*
Eagerly explore the awesomeness of God and the mysteries of faith;
* Identify themselves as members, as
a unique and special part of the body of Christ, as Lutheran and members
of a local congregation;
* Regularly participate in public
worship and the reception of holy communion, engage in personal and
group Bible study and its application to life, strive to lead
God-pleasing lives and offer services to God by serving others;
* Celebrate the relationships that
they have with God as their personal God who loves them graciously,
their pastor and other confirmation staff people, their peers
participating in the confirmation process, their family and other
members of their congregation.
