MIDDLE SCHOOL
CONFIRMATION
Students in 6th , 7th , and 8th grade continue their faith journey through study and discussion of the Small Catechism in both large and small group settings with an adult faith mentor.
Throughout the year we have opportunities to grow in faith and relationships with each other through a fall retreat at NeSoDak and service project nights. The final year of Confirmation concludes freshman year in which students will explore what it means to practice their faith and prepare to Affirm their Baptism in the fall of their sophomore year of high school. We encourage all our students to be involved in the life of the congregation through a variety of service opportunities.

Weekly Youth Group is on Wednesday nights at 7pm (after the Wednesday services during Lent). This time includes Faith, Friends, Fellowship, Food, Service, and Fun! Our gatherings include various topics, guests, discussions, projects, and other adventures.
You are welcome the way you are.
During the summers we have opportunities to travel as a group.
