7th & 8th Grade Confirmation Class
Junior Confirmation for seventh and eighth graders is a public rite of the Lutheran church which is preceded by a two year period of instruction (September-March). The purpose of the instruction is to help baptized Christians identify with the ministry and mission of the church. It is also a way for Christians to learn more about their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to develop a more personal relationship with Him that will last a lifetime. Junior Confirmation should be viewed as a stepping stone between the beginning of one's faith, which begins for many at their baptism, and a lifetime of growing in that faith.

For students who attend Trinity Lutheran School, instruction takes place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings as part of their school instruction. Students who attend public junior high school participate in confirmation on Wednesday evenings.

For more information email Chuck Bahn or call 828-7233 #203.
