Confirmation & Christian Growth
Class 2024-2025

Confirmation Class : Sundays - 5:15p-7:30p

What is Confirmation?

As a rich part of our Lutheran Theology, we believe that we are saved only through God’s grace and mercy (Ephesians 2:8-9). We trust that God has rescued us from the ultimate consequence of sin through Jesus’ death on the cross - not through any efforts of our own. Through Jesus’ sacrifice, we receive salvation and the forgiveness of sin and through His bodily resurrection we are given the hope and the promise of eternal life (John 3:16). Because we believe our salvation is from God and not a result of our own work, we support the practice of baptizing children as infants. Since the choice to baptize infants and raise them in the Christian Faith is a decision made by parents (or guardians), and not by the child him/herself, there must be a time when children take ownership of and responsibility for their own faith journey. We have created “Rock Confirmation” to do just that.

Confirmation is the formal process through which individual students receive the information necessary to make an educated decision about his/her personal faith journey. The goal of Confirmation is for students to affirm their baptism and desire to be faithfully active in their relationship with Jesus.

We will focus on : 

(1) The Plan of Salvation
(2) Memorization of Bible verses
(3) The Ten Commandments
(4) The Apostles’ Creed
(5) The Lord’s Prayer
(6) The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
(7) The Sacrament of Holy Communion
(8) The Office of the Keys.
(9) “Is God just a human invention?” by Sean McDowell. 

We would love to discuss more of what this enriching class entails at our parent and student meeting Sunday, October 6 at 5:15pm in The Rock. I encourage all parents to register their students before the class if they plan to participate in this course. Register Here for our class.
