Confirmation

 Confirmation Ministry
at Christ Lutheran Church

The Confirmation Ministry at Christ Lutheran Church is an intentional time of learning, discerning, serving and growing together as youth (usually 6^th through 8^th graders) prepare to affirm their baptism in the Rite of Confirmation. During the Service of Affirmation of Baptism the pastor will ask the confirmands:

“Do you intend to continue in the covenant God made with you in Holy Baptism: to live among God’s faithful people; to hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s supper; to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through words and deed; to serve all people, following the example of Jesus; and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth?”

The components of the Confirmation Ministry Covenant are intended to prepare youth to answer that question with a confident “yes!” and to strive to keep those promises throughout their lives.
