You do not need to be Lutheran to attend Confirmation. Our curriculum is based on the Bible, our Confession of Faith, and Luther’s Small Catechism. Click here for our Confession of Faith and outline of Luther’s Small Catechism. If you feel that your child will benefit from this curriculum, your child is welcome to attend regardless of their faith background.

Baptism is an important part of the Lutheran faith tradition. In the Bible Jesus tells us in Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
If your child has not yet been baptized please talk to one of the pastors about receiving this important promise of salvation. Through the waters of baptism your child will receive the unconditional promise that they are saved. We want every child and adult to have this assurance of salvation not through their own deeds or actions, but through the promise made by Jesus on the cross explained in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave us His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

We expect both the parents and the students to take this education seriously by arriving on time and demonstrating a readiness to learn. Your child will be expected to bring their Confirmation materials to class each week. Occasionally there will be homework that will need to be completed in the allotted time frame. Bad language or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Attendance will be taken each week. Make up work will be provided due to sickness or unavoidable absence. Excessive absences will result in not being confirmed.

• Arrive on time and be ready to learn.
• Bring Confirmation materials to each class.
• Complete any homework assigned.
• Maintain appropriate behavior.
• Regular attendance is required.

• Every Tuesday 4-5:30 PM at Victory Lutheran Church in the Luther Room.
• Breaks: There will be a one week fall break, one week spring break and a two week winter break and a three month summer break. See attached schedule.

The Confirmation class is designed for students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, typically ranging from 11 to 14 years old.
