Confirmation
Our Confirmation ministry is a time of intense spiritual
discernment and growth. Our worshiping community understands that the middle
school years are filled great transition in every facet of life. We want those
in the midst of this transition to know they are not on their journeys alone. We
want to share with our students the rock of faith that has kept us secure so
they can rely on it as well. This is an age when students look critically at
what they have learned at home and desire to make their own choices. During
Confirmation we give them the tools to understand their lives in the context of
God’s great and on-going story, building a foundation they can count on for the
rest of their lives.
We present these tools in a variety of ways. We have
large-group teaching time, small-group processing time, individual reflection
time, guest speakers, multi-church fellowship, and service projects. We grow
leadership from within our ministry, giving the students opportunities to lead
worship, help our community, and shine with the unique gifts God has given to
each one. Of course, through it all, QUESTIONS are welcome!
We will take one year each to study the Old Testament, the
New Testament, and Luther’s Small Catechism (the Lord’s Prayer, Apostle’s Creed,
and Ten Commandments). 6-8th grade classes meet Wednesdays and
Sundays September through May. The 9th grade year includes a handful
of capstone classes culminating in Confirmation Sunday in the fall.
Pastor Kristen welcomes conversations about St. James’
Confirmation ministry.
