Confirmation is a life long pastoral caring education, nurturing family ministry in the church which helps the baptized child through Word and Sacrament to grow in faith and love for Jesus Christ, identify more deeply with the Christian Community and to participate more fully in its mission.
St. Peter’s Lutheran Church is a place to “Grow in Christ to Care in Life”. We therefore, have these goals for our youth confirmation ministry: that through the Word and Spirit of God, each one:
† Knows God and his seeking forgiving love in Christ
† Grows in faith and trust in daily living
† Lives in God’s peace and christian hope
† Expresses and grows faith in worship and devotional life
† Manages God’s blessings each day
† Gives loving, caring service to others
† Participates actively in witness and mission outreach
