St. John 7th & 8th Grade Ministry
We help these youth make connections and meet new friends, grow their faith by studying God's word, and encourage them to be a child of God who is actively changing the world.
Confirmation - A Strong Faith Foundation for the Future
Confirmation is the tradition in the Lutheran Church when a young teen (typically 7th or 8th grade) studies more deeply the basics of theChristian faith. The process of Confirmation is a little over two years of instruction, learning, serving, enjoying fellowship and asking questions.Each youth has an opportunity to affirm their baptism by sharing their faith story as they complete their journey of owning their own faith.
