Study of the Lutheran Catechism in Preparation for Affirmation of Baptism/"Confirmation"

THE CATECHETICS FAITH JOURNEY IS…

• A two year ministry for youth in 8th and 9th grades as well as 7th graders who feel spiritually ready for this faith journey. Pastors, Students, Adult Leaders spend time learning, sharing, serving, and having fun while we grow in faith and discipleship together.                                                                                                               
  
• Three sessions of classes are held each year on Thursday evenings, 7-8:30. There are three sessions each year: Fall, Winter, and Spring. Classes are taught by our pastors and small group discussions are led by loving, caring, and fun volunteers!
  
  
• AND.. .we have time each week for fellowship and snacks!!!                                                                                                        
  
• A Fall Retreat brings many opportunities for learning, fellowship, and fun!
  
  
• Servant Projects offer opportunities to put our faith and love of God into ACTION!
  
  
• Students learn about the gifts God has given them and share those gifts in varied ministries of the church, in their homes, schools, and in their world.

Catechetics Curriculum

We are excited to share that we use the," Here We Stand" curriculum, published by the Lutheran Publishing House, Augsburg Fortress! "Here We Stand" is an interactive curriculum centered on Scripture, Luther's Small Catechism, and focused on walking the road of discipleship. It features an interactive Student Site rich with lots of resources and fun things to do all of which enhance our students’ learning experience.
