Student Confirmation at Trinity
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is a three-year discipleship program focused on helping young people deepen their personal faith identity in Christ and His Church. It is a process undertaken during a significant point in a young persons development into adulthood and culminates in the Rite of Confirmation where they affirm their baptismal faith before the congregation.
During Confirmation, students will complete a study of the Old and New Testament, the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Sacraments, and Luther's Small Catechism. They will also be encouraged to develop habits of Christian formation, such as prayer, Scripture reading, and service.
Confirmation is a launching pad for a life-long journey of following Jesus!
