Affirmation of Baptism is a time, in keeping with our Lutheran tradition, when we teach and build relationships with our young people in grades 7–9. The culmination of this time of study and growth is the service of Affirmation of Baptism, at which each young person affirms his or her faith in Jesus Christ in the fall of their sophomore year in high school.
Our program is designed to involve youth in exciting and challenging interaction with each other and adults, by speaking to issues that are relevant to their lives while assuring that biblical, distinctively Lutheran concepts and doctrines are learned. Orientation meetings for parents and students are as follows:
