What does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8
A 3-Year Youth Ministry Experience helping 6th, 7th, and 8th graders say “YES" to God, who said "YES" to you in your baptisms. It’s about being a servant with a servant heart!
Why confirmation?
Great question! Confirmation is more than just checking a box for your faith. Confirmation is about…
Friends
Loving the Lord
Someone making you come and you leaving, wanting more
Growing into being Lutheran
Coming with questions and leaving with new ideas and perspective
Confirmation is about being a servant with a servant heart
How may I serve and grow in knowledge and faith?
