Middle School (grades six through nine)

 


Confirmation
Sixth-eighth grade youth attend confirmation on Wednesday nights throughout the school year. This time gives the youth a chance to learn about what it means to be a Lutheran and to dig deeper into their faith with the Bible, large and small group times and a time of closing worship. Sixth grade youth alternate five weeks in class with four weeks in PULSE - a time of interactive learning. There are also confirmation classes on Sunday evenings for ninth graders and youth affrim their baptism as tenth-graders.

Code of Conduct

For the safety of our children/youth, a Medical Release and Code of Conduct Form is required to participate in fellowship events or attend camp. Please fill out the form (make sure to complete both sides) and return it to the Youth Office. If you bring a friend to an event, they will need a form as well. However, you only need to complete one form per year. If you are not sure if you have one on file, please call Debbie in the Youth Office.
