CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is a practice that has been observed throughout the Church for centuries. In the LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod), confirmation is considered to be an affirmation of one's baptism and faith. Our journey of faith begins with our baptism, and it continues throughout the duration of our life. Confirmation is a stepping stone in that journey that allows young adults, typically in 6th to 8th grade, to confirm their baptism and learn more about the foundations of the Christian faith as they grow both in age and spiritual maturity. This two year class meets once a week during the school year.
Confirmation is not, however, specific to teenagers; adults can also be confirmed. The lengthy and elaborate Confirmation curriculum covers a multitude of topics including the ten commandments, the sacraments, sin and grace, prayer, the literature of the bible, vocationalism, and fruits of the Spirit. This class dives deep into the roots of the Christian faith.
