2009 Confirmands with Pastor Russell

Confirmation ministry, generally for middle school students grades 6-8, is an intentional time of formation around the Bible, Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, and living the Christian faith.  Our church defines confirmation ministry as a pastoral and educational ministry of the church that helps the baptized through Word and Sacrament to identify more deeply with the Christian community and participate more fully in its mission.

At Emmanuel, we use Here We Stand, an online resource published by Augsburg Fortress, publishing house of the ELCA. We meet Sunday mornings from 9:45-10:45 in the middle school classroom, next to the choir room.
