Confirmation

Confirmation is an educational ministry designed to help all baptized members grow in their faith. Here, at Calvary, we have chosen to emphasize confirmation as a relational ministry that begins at baptism and can be experienced throughout life. Since confirmation is

relational ministry, we strongly encourage parents to participate throughout the different classes, become group guides, and assist in the overall nature of their child's experience. We take seriously Martin Luther's charge of giving parents the resources to pass on their faith to their children.

Small group ministry is the framework as students move into the 7^th, 8^th, and 9^th grades. Each Wednesday night they gather as a large group to learn about the Bible, small catechism, and the Lutheran reformation. Later that evening they break into small groups to process what they have experienced. Service projects, retreats, and Greater Grand Forks mass gatherings are incorporated into this experience.

During the 10th grade year students are connected with a mentor for various activities and conversations about faith and issues of daily life.

Confirmation culminates during the fall of their 11^th grade with a weekend of Faith Expressions and Affirmation of Baptism. Faith Expressions is a special night in which the confirmands express their faith in a unique and special way and Affirmation of Baptism takes place the next morning at all five services.
