Confirmation:  7th and 8th Grade

The affirmation of baptism is a central part of the confirmation program at St. James Lutheran Church. Young people in 7th and 8th grade meet every Wednesday during the school year. The first year of study is focused on the biblical narrative. Kids will encounter the great characters of the bible and learn about their stories, from Moses to King David to the disciples and Paul. The second year of study takes a deep dive into the central teachings of the Christian faith. Students will take a close look at their own faith journey as they grow toward an understanding of what it means to be a Christian.
