  • Confirmation Enrollment


    Thank you for registering for Confirmation! Here are some basics:

    • Confirmation is a 2-year program. The two years alternate between being a year focused on the Bible and a year focused on our Lutheran Heritage. 2023-2024 will be a Bible year, and next year will be the Luther year.

    • Students generally enter the program at the beginning of their 7th grade year and get confirmed in the Spring of their 8th grade year.

    • We will, of course, welcome new families and students into the program at any time, as our congregation grows.

      Some Details

    • Confirmation students will participate in classes on Wednesday nights during the school year.

    • Classes begin with a shared meal at 5:45 p.m. and we end promptly at 7:00 p.m.

    • Every confirmation student is expected to attend Bible Camp at least once during the confirmation journey. This intensive week of fun and faith development is so important to our students. Our Confirmation-age students go to Camp Chrysalis Lutheran Bible Camp in Kerrville, TX.

    • During the school year each confirmation student will complete the following:

      - 16 sermon notes through the Church App (Available on Apple Store or Google Play)

      - Prepare a "My Faith in 100 Words" to share on Confirmation Sunday

      - Participate in St. John youth activities

      - Regularly worship with our congregation and assist with worship (Acolyte/Camera/Computer/Reader).

    • In addition to Confirmation, Sunday School is offered each Sunday with Bible study and service activities.

    • This ministry is completed in COLLABORATION with the family.
