Confirmation
Confirmation provides a learning environment for students, typically 7th and 8th grade but open to older students as needed, to explore what it means to be a Christian, ask deep questions of themselves, God, and church leaders, and ultimately prepares them to make a public confession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Focus of Confirmation
Over two years, the class focuses on key components of the Bible and Christian faith, including the 10 Commandments, Lord’s Prayer, Apostles Creed, Lutheran Life, and Hot Topics.
We focus on all subjects for two consecutive sessions. During each session, students gather together to learn from an adult leader. Students then gather in small groups to continue the conversation to conclude the session. The relationships built with the small group leaders and others in their group allow for authentic conversation.

First Communion Class
Holy Communion at Christ Lutheran Church may be celebrated by baptized children who are in 5th grade and up and have completed the Holy Communion Family Class. Those who are younger may participate if their parents believe they are ready, with special permission from Pastor Travis and/or Pastor Jake. The 2027 Holy Communion Family Class will be held January 24, 2027. This class helps students understand the significance of the Eucharist and what it means for them as followers of Christ. As this is a parent-student class, we kindly request that at least one parent accompany their student.
Students will partake in their First Communion at the Maundy Thursday Divine Service.
