The Journey to Confirmation for our youth begins with the Sacrament of Holy Baptism.

In Baptism God freely offers his grace and lovingly establishes a new community. It is in Baptism that people become members of Christ's Body on earth, the Church.


The next step in the Journey begins with   - The Littlest Lutherans program, (ages 2-3 year olds) which meet during the Sunday School hour in the nursery. Parents are welcome to stay and participate. We will have an art project and story that correlates with the same Bible story as the older students. A snack will also be provided each week. Join us Sundays at 9:15 a.m. for and hour of songs, fun, stories and learning.

Sunday School continues the Journey with Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grades 1 through 10. Again these classes are held between services on Sunday at 9:15 a.m.

All our youth are expected to attend services each Sunday and all young children are invited to come up front for the children's message.

Christian Education Milestones

1. Third Grade -Bibles are presented in the Fall.

2.Fifth Grade - Students receive instruction on the Sacrament of Holy Communion. They receive their First Communion during Holy Week on Maundy Thursday.


3. Eighth Grade - Students start their confirmation study the summer between seventh and eighth grade with a week at Imago Dei Village for confirmation camp. Throughout their eighth grade year they meet weekly with a Pastor and study the "Here We Stand" series.

4. Ninth Grade - Students pick a confirmation mentor and meet with them every third Wednesday of the month to work on the "Making Disciples" curriculum. They meet a minimum of six times.

5. Tenth Grade - Students and mentors continue to meet on the third Wednesday of the month during the school year. They complete their student mentor book. Students are expected to have completed their attendance slips, sermon notes, and memory contracts. Students will complete a Faith Statement and a stole in final preparation for confirmation. Students also meet with two members of the Board of Christian Education for an interview. Confirmation is held each year on Pentecost Sunday. We hope that each student has made a spiritual connection as they affirm their baptismal vow and are welcomed into the congregation as an adult.
