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.
 Confirmation Curriculum by Grade Level
Fifth-grade: First Communion, four weeks during Lent
Sixth-grade: Ten Commandments for eight weeks and eight weeks of PULSE (an interactive, relationship-building ministry)
Seventh- and eighth-grade:
Session one: Bible Stories
Session two: Apostle’s Creed and Lord’s Prayer
Ninth-grade: What it means to be a Lutheran
Tenth-grade: Affirmation of Baptism takes place the first Sunday in November. |
Throughout the school year, monthly fellowship events take place for youth in grades six through eight. These events help the youth to get to know each other outside of confirmation, while giving them a chance to invite friends to come hang out with the First Lutheran family.
October: Corn Maze
November: Scavenger Hunt
January: Ski Trip
February: Bowling
April: Mini Lock-in
May: Valleyfair 
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.
Summer camp offers a time of fellowship and opportunity to grow in faith.
Sixth-graders have the opportunity to go to NeSoDak near Lake Enemy Swim in South Dakota (near Waubay, SD). Seventh-graders can go to Outlaw Ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota (near Custer, SD). Eighth-graders go to Camp Metigoshe in North Dakota (near Minot, ND). | For a listing of upcoming events for these ministries, please click here. Mara Stillson
