Confirmation Program

Confirmation is a lifelong process that begins with baptism and ends with death. Gloria Dei Lutheran Church aims to help seventh and eighth graders understand the implications of their baptism and the difference it will make in their lives as they live it out.

The confirmation program meets approximately three times a month for instruction on Sunday evening from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. At least once a month the program meets for a fun youth night. All seventh and eighth graders are expected to help lead worship as acolytes.

The confirmation program is completed after a student finishes the two years of coursework and participates in an overnight retreat at the beginning of their ninth grade year. The Rite of Affirmation of Baptism, where the confirmand accepts the promises made for them at their baptism traditionally takes place on the fourth Sunday of September each year.
