Discipleship Building for Pre-Teens and Teens

Discipleship!

We still call it “Confirmation,” but it’s really “discipleship building” for pre-teens and teens!  Our Savior’s Confirmation program focuses on creating disciples out of our participants as we nurture faith and teach “servant leadership.”  God already promised his love and commitment to us in our baptism. Confirmation is our opportunity to learn what it means to affirm that love and commitment with our actions as disciples!

6th Grade Class

Corey Sjoquist spends each Wednesday covering stories of the Bible, from Genesis in the Old Testament through Acts in the New Testament, helping students begin to put together the narrative of God’s work in the world through Jesus Christ.  We are always eager to welcome new students!  For more information, contact the church office.

7th Grade Class

This year begins a study of our faith through catechetical instruction.  Using Martin Luther’s insights and teachings, we ponder the Sacraments, the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s Prayer and prayer as a lifestyle.  We also begin to explore what it means to be a Servant Leader.  Included are a series of elective courses on living faithfully, sharing in the community of faith, and using our gifts in the work of Jesus.  And…we always have room for more!

8th Grade Class

8th graders continue in catechetical instruction as they dive into the Apostle’s Creed.  They will explore both their own giftedness and God’s gift of the Word.  Servant leadership will be a part of their year, and they will even learn about – and live out – “monsters” in our world.

8th graders will affirm their baptism on April 27, 2025.
