Christian Education
"But this I say for myself: I am also a doctor and a preacher, just as learned and experienced as all of them who are so high and mighty. Nevertheless, each morning, and whenever else I have time, I do as a child who is being taught the catechism and I read and recite word for word the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Psalms, etc. I must still read and study the catechism daily, and yet I cannot master it as I wish, but must remain a child and pupil of the catechism--and I do so gladly"-- Martin Luther
At the center of our Confirmation Ministry is involvement in congregational life, which, inturn, is centered on Christ. We expect confirmation students to establish and maintain a pattern of regular worship and participation in Holy Communion. Students are also given the opportunity to experience hands-on learning events and a week-long Confirmation Camp studying the "Life of Jesus". They and their families are also asked to contribute four hours of community service that they plan together as a family. Confirmation marks a new stage in life's journey for these students as they continue to grow in their faith.
