Youth Confirmation

Youth Confirmation is a two year period of instruction, typically beginning upon entry into grade 7. During Year A, students learn the doctrines of the Evangelical Lutheran Church as they are summarized in Luther’s Small Catechism. During Year B, students read through the Holy Scriptures.
Students who complete both Year A and B and desire to become members of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church will be invited to participate in the Rite of Confirmation.
