Middle School (grades six through eight)

 


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.
