Like many Christian churches that baptize infants, the Lutheran church has a rite of "confirmation".  This rite provides a mechanism for older children to be received and welcomed as full members of the congregation.  Confirmation involves a public affirmation of Christian faith, which means that confirmands need to have a certain level of maturity and training.  Lutheran churches have always held confirmation and associated instruction to be an important life passage.

At Holy Trinity, confirmation classes are taught by the Pastor and normally begin when a student reaches 7th grade.  The classes meet during the educational hour at 9:15 AM on Sundays over a 2 year period (no classes during the summer).  The rite of confirmation then occurs during a special worship service when a student is nearing the end of 8th grade.  Older youth are welcome if they did not start confirmation instruction at the start of 7th grade.

Please contact Pastor Simmons if you'd like to talk about enrolling your child in confirmation class.  It is not necessary that you be a member of the church for your child to enroll.
