Education and Faith Formation

Adult Bible study
A group regularly meets at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings to study one of the Bible studies published by Augsburg Fortress. The readings and discussion are led by lay leaders.

First Communion
Children of all ages are welcome to receive Communion. However, during Lent, there is an opportunity for children and their parents to learn more about the sacrament. During two 90-minute classes, children, parents and the pastor talk about what a sacrament is, why we celebrate Communion, and prepare for the worship service where the children will receive communion for the first time.

Contact Pastor Christina for more information.

Confirmation
Youth in grades 6-8 are invited to participate in confirmation classes with Pastor Christina and other caring adults. Confirmation is about grappling with questions and exploring the promises adults made on behalf of a child at his or her baptism. It is about

• discovering how God’s story is our story – affirming our identity as children of God, beloved by God.
• learning how to be disciples –following and imitating Jesus.
• building relationships with each other, with our congregation who are our family in Christ, and with God.

Confirmation will be three years of learning from one another, praying together, walking with each other, sharing faith and doubt, and watching for God’s presence in our lives together. On the Day of Pentecost, the youth who choose to participate will affirm their baptism in front of the congregation.
