Confirmation is the process Middle School students go through to become confirmed members of Faith Lutheran Church. Over the course of 3 years of instruction (grades 6 – 8 ) students will learn basic doctrine of the Christian faith, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, and Bible lessons from both the Old and New Testament.
To be confirmed students must meet several requirements throughout each grade. During 6th grade students will need to successfully complete the Family Based Confirmation program. During 7th grade students will need to successfully complete the Family Based Confirmation program as well as participate and complete the 7th grade Communion Retreat held each October. Students will receive their First Communion during 7th Grade. During 8th grade students will need to successfully complete the 8th Grade Small Group program, the Gifts For All God’s Children Distribution day and participate in the 8th Grade Confirmation Retreat held in March.
After completion of all areas of the Confirmation program 8th grade students will be confirmed at a special “Confirmation Service” held over Mother’s Day weekend in May where they will read what they believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
For more information on our Confirmation Program we would like to invite parents to join us at one of two identical informational meetings. These meetings will contain information on any changes to the Confirmation program, how to register your student, as well as student and parent expectations.

- Sunday, July 24th, 2011 from 12:30pm – 2:00pm in Room 16
