Confirmation
Confirmation is a lifelong Christian education and relational experience, within the congregation, that began when you came to faith in Jesus Christ.
Small Catechism
Unit Confession
With the help of the Holy Spirit, students proclaim that Christ is the object of faith. “Jesus said, "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - Matthew 10:32-33. When you were baptized the Lord adopted you into His family. He claimed you as His own. Now that you know all He has done for you…how do you respond? Students are developing their personal testament concerning their faith in Christ to be publicly presented.

Life Team Meeting
Speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) is easier said than done. We live in a time when abortion is called a “right” and a “choice,” when assisted suicide is called “compassion,” when sex outside of marriage is called “natural” and “safe.” It is a time when gender ideology insists the genders are interchangeable and misgendering someone is called “hate speech.” Our intent is to counter these lies in love with the truth of God’s Word.

Marionette Puppets Opens Sunday School
Unlike the foolish rich farmer forgot that God provides. God makes the plants grow. It is God who gives us everything we have. It is God who keeps his family alive and healthy. The selfish boy learned to love and trust God. He tried his best to remember to thank God for all he had every chance he got.
Puppet Show
Puppets Ministry
Marionettes tell the stories of Gods love and the promises fulfilled in Christ Jesus. Productions are usually on the 3rd Sunday each month at 9:30 AM as a Sunday School openning. At Easter the play is longer as we retell the story of our salvation and the empty tomb.

The preparation process for the Gathering brings together young people and supportive adults to encourage each other in their baptismal identity. The Gathering provides young people a vision for the vastness of Christ’s Church and equips them for vocational service as they continue their walk with Jesus.
