Confirmation


Confirmation is a public act of the church that is preceded by a period of intentional discipleship designed to help baptized Christians affirm their identity with the life & mission of the Christian Community.  It seeks to involve the whole family and the whole church to provide a supportive community that will affirm the work God began in baptism and promises to bring to fulfillment through His son, Jesus Christ. Unconfirmed students grade 6th & up have two options for completing confirmation. Option A: Immersions or Option B: Independent Student/Parent Study.  Worship notes and service hours are required with either option.

ROMANS 6:4

WE WERE BURIED THEREFORE WITH HIM BY

BAPTISM INTO DEATH, IN ORDER THAT, JUST AS CHRIST WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD BY THE GLORY OF THE FATHER WE TOO MIGHT WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE. 

IMMERSION Dates

Immersions are intentional times of instruction in a home-based atmosphere. Faith is lived out in the home and it's where discipleship most often occurs! Held on Sundays throughout the year from 2-6pm in the home of a staff person or host family.  The students will bring their preparation materials, Luther's Small Catechism, Bible, pen & journal. It is a time to dive deeper into the topics, continue with application, fellowship together, and break bread with parents during the last 2 hours.  We ask students' parents to join each immersion for the last 2 hours

for about an hour of adult fellowship-modeling-learning and an hour  of breaking bread with one another and guided conversations with our students.
