Education

Confirmation is open to all seventh and eighth grade students. It is an exciting opportunity for youth to continue to learn and understand what the Bible says, what Lutheran Christians believe about God, and to deepen their own faith. Over the course of this two-year program the students learn about the Bible and Luther’s Small Catechism. Every Wednesday evening from 6-7:30 p.m. they meet in Conference Room A on first floor to participate in games, a large group lesson taught by Pastor Arthur Bergren and small group discussion led by dedicated adult mentors. At regular times throughout the year the students also engage in service projects and social events.

Senior High Youth Ministry

The Youth Room on third floor is open every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. for all youth and friends to come and hang out, do homework, listen to music, play games and enjoy munchies. We will then gather together at 6:00 p.m. for a large group game and divide into groups for interactive lessons and activities focusing on the lives of teens, dealing with life, parents, school, friendships and current events. The Senior High Youth will also experience fun outings and service oriented projects.
