(Children in the 7^th and 8^th grades)

Children are required to go through the confirmation program which includes expanding their knowledge of the great themes and stories of the Bible as well as a knowledgeable command of the Small Catechism. Generally, the 7^th grade class concentrates on Bible knowledge and the 8^th grade class concentrates on the doctrine of the church as explained in the Small Catechism.  At the end of the course of instruction, the 8^th graders will be questioned  by the Elders of the church to determine their command of the subject matter.  With the approval of the Elders, the 8^th grade confirmation students are confirmed on the first Sunday in May.  Once confirmed, the student is expected to:

• Establish a regular worship pattern during confirmation instruction period. 

• Sign a “Four-Fold Expectations of Members” commitment form.

• Take steps to get connected to one or more of the different groups and activities that are offered.

• Prayerfully consider making a stewardship pledge to the church… General and building.

Variation to this procedure will be at the discretion of the Pastor and the Board of Elders.
