Wednesday night 6:00-7:30 5th, 6th and 7th graders start in the auditorium as a large group praising Jesus Christ in song. Then we break into small groups of 6-8 kids with an adult leader who leads discussion on how we can apply biblical truths in practical ways.

High School Small Groups
All 8th-12th grade small groups will resume Fall 2020.
Confirmation
Due to COVID-19, the Rite of Confirmation and 5th Grade First Communion has been postponed to Late Summer/Fall 2020.
The confirmation program for 8th-grade students has three objectives:
- Ensure that students understand the teachings and beliefs of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
- Foster an individual, relevant relationship between the student and Jesus Christ that he or she can profess and begin modeling in daily life.
- Transition the 8th-grade student from Junior High into the High School ministry and beyond.
Confirmation Classes and Test: Confirmation classes are held on Sunday mornings in the Fall in Room 141 from 9:30-10:30. This class focuses on Lutheran doctrine. Students should bring a bible, notebook, and pencil to take notes. Students will be required to score 85% or higher on a written test held in December. A retest will be given for all students who do not achieve 85 percent on the test. In the Spring, 8th-graders move into the high school class on Sunday mornings.
“What Jesus Means to Me Speeches” and Rite of Confirmation: All students are required to make a public declaration of their faith and lifelong pledge to follow Jesus Christ during a worship service. We will hold the Rite of Confirmation after speeches at this worship service.
Small groups at Mentor Couple homes, Wednesdays 6:15-7:45. Students meet in small group (6-8 kids) in the homes of adult Mentor Couples to apply what they learned on Sunday mornings in real-life situations. Every year, confirmands look back on their experiences with Mentor Couples as a highlight of the Confirmation program.
Memory Work: By 8th grade, students are expected to have memorized and to be able to demonstrate the following:
Students who attended 5th-grade Communion Classes at Christ Lutheran received a copy of Luther’s Catechism. This is a key component of the confirmation program. If you did not receive a copy, please contact the church office. You can also find it online at The Book of Concord.
Please contact Korey Danely or call 345-9700 with questions about the Confirmation program.
