 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.
