Youth Confirmation

Our Youth Confirmation program is designed to prepare baptized 7 & 8th graders to be able to examine themselves, as God's Word says, and receive Holy Communion.  The primary curriculum is Luther's Small Catechism.   Topics include:

 

	The Ten Commandments
	The Creed
	The Lord's Prayer
	The Sacrament of Holy Baptism
	Confession
	The Sacrament of the Altar
	Daily Prayers
	Duties as Christians
	Christian Questions with Their Answers

"The deplorable, miserable conditions which I recently observed when visiting the parishes have constrained and pressed me to put this catechism of Christian doctrine into this brief, plain, and simple form. How pitiable, so help me God, were the things I saw; the common man, especially in the villages, knows practically nothing of Christian doctrine, and many of the pastors are almost entirely incompetent and unable to teach. Yet all the people are supposed to be Christians, have been baptized, and receive the Holy Sacrament even though they do not know the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, or the Ten Commandments and live like poor animals of the barnyard and pigpen. What these people have mastered, however, is the fine art of tearing all Christian liberty to shreds. "

--Martin Luther
