Bethany Lutheran Church offers a three year Confirmation program to all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. We believe that Confirmation plays a vital role in the lives of our youth and families. It helps to promote spiritual formation and cultivates peer-to-peer and multi-generational faith connections.
This multiple year program is all-inclusive in its teachings. Your child(ren) will learn about the absolute truth of Scripture, Lutheran Theology and Doctrine, and how to actively live in the faith given to them through the power of the Holy Spirit. We cannot stress enough the importance of participating in all aspects of this program. We feel this Confirmation program is an integral component in the partnership between church and home in the faith formation of your child(ren). If you are interested in enrolling your youth in our Confirmation program or have any further questions, please contact Kayleigh Lopez, Minister of Youth.
