CONFIRMATION PROGRAM
St. Peter's Confirmation Instruction is a 2-year program for our 7th and 8th graders. Students engage in large-group and small-group learning. Teachers use the Bible and Luther's Small Catechism as the foundations for each lesson. Students will develop a deeper understanding of the beliefs, practices, life, and mission of the Christian Church. The Word of God will guide their connection to develop the strong foundation of their faith and connect with other students. Through Confirmation instruction, students participate in Holy Communion, make a confession of faith in Christ, and publicly declare that they adhere to the teachings of the Lutheran Church.
Students who complete the requirements are confirmed at the fall of their 9th grade year.
We also have optional classes for our 5th and 6th graders. Students learn about the Old Testament and New Testament to help prepare them for their future Confirmation Instruction.

Confirmation Mentors Needed:
Confirmation is about to start up again for our 7th and 8th graders and we are always in need of adult mentors for small groups. Each mentor is expected to keep a small group of junior high students on task and lead their small group in activities and discussions. All materials and activities are prepared for you ahead of time. If you think you or someone you know would be great at leading a small group of youth during our weekly Confirmation sessions, please contact church office! Confirmation class meets every Wednesday from 6:30 - 7:30 pm from September - November and January - May.
