The purpose of confirmation is to prepare the student for life long active participation in the life of the church. It is a key part of a child/family’s faith development (along with baptism, Sunday School, etc.) toward a life long process of education and service with the Body of Christ (church).

 

The goal is to increase knowledge, deepen faith and socialize students into the worshiping community and service of the church. To that end, confirmation (and other stepping stones) will:

* encourage and teach parental involvement in the nurturing of their student’s faith

* help students understand the basic teachings of the Christian faith that they may confess their faith in the

Gospel of Jesus Christ

* help students and parents develop disciplines that will aid the nurturing of an active excited faith in Jesus Christ.

​

Confirmation at Memorial is a two year program for 7th & 8th graders. (Please note: for older students that would like to be confirmed, please talk with Pastor Asmus.)

​

All students and parents (both 1st & 2nd year) are asked to attend the orientation in August..
