We strive to build in each youth a strong biblical and Lutheran foundation as well as equip them to Connect, Grow, and Serve.
Confirmation | Grade 9
Classes are held on Wednesdays from 7:30-8:30pm during the school year. This program includes large and small group times that explore faith and apply faith to everyday life challenges, ultimately supporting the youth to define their own faith statement. These classes are led by the pastors.
Classes run from September through the first week of May. New registrations are welcome at anytime.
Confirmation | Grade 10
Following Confirmation classes in 8th and 9th grades, the 10th grade students complete two additional class sessions with their parents then prepare and share a faith statement with peers and a pastor or youth ministry leader. Confirmation is celebrated with a special service on Reformation Sunday where students confirm their faith with family, friends and the Bethel community. This is a faith milestone step to expressing and practicing their faith as adults.
