At Christ Lutheran Church when a member is in sixth grade, they start Confirmation classes, a two to three-year study that helps these young people:
- personally confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and take personal ownership in declaring, by the power of the Holy Spirit, of their own allegiance to Christ.;
- explore the awesomeness of God and the mysteries of faith
- identify themselves as members, as a unique and special part of the body of Christ, as Lutheran and members of the congregation
- solidify their understanding of the bible and its themes of salvation by grace through faith, the calling of the people of God, the life of Christ and culmination of history in the end times.
- attain a basic knowledge of the six chief parts of Luther's Small Catechism
- become grounded in scriptural teaching through memorization of key biblical texts, Luther's small Catechism, hymns and prayers
- grow in knowledge of the unique history of the Lutheran reformation

Basic Skills Taught:
- Bible Study: learning to read God's word for understanding in a personal devotional life and in group study with other Christians
- Prayer: learning to pray for the needs of others, for personal needs and for the mission of the church

At the conclusion of confirmation instruction, these young people will make a public profession of their faith during a church service. The rite of confirmation is a time of celebration for the congregation as it receives the confession of these young people and affirms and encourages them in the continuation of their faith journey. In addition, after completion of confirmation instruction, these young people will begin the Sacrament of communion.

MIDWEEK
For the younger kids...
While the pre teens and teens are going through Confirmation instruction, preschool and school-aged children can participate in a program called "Midweek". Midweek includes a meal and a Bible study given on their level of understanding. It's a way of introducing the young to the Bible, preparing them for the days that they too will participate in Confirmation instruction.
