Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
Youth Confirmation
Raising children in the Christian faith begins with baptism and continues as Jesus said, "Teaching them everything I have commanded you to observe" (Matthew 28.20). That happens above all at home, and also in the church.
We invite children to participate in our confirmation program in seventh and eighth grade. Those who attend our school receive instructions from our pastors during the week. Those who do not attend our school can receive the same instructions using the videos below. We have workbooks that accompany all the videos. On Sunday mornings, one of the pastors meets with all the seventh and eight grades for a Bible study at 9:15 a.m.
After completing all the studies, students in the eighth grade who are ready to profess their faith publicly and begin receiving Holy Communion participate in our Confirmation Service held on the fourth Sunday in April.
If you would like your child to participate, please contact Pastor Walther at michaelpwalther@gmail.com so that we can meet to get started.

National Sex Education Standards Brochure
This brochure is designed to help parents with the way sexual education is being taught in our public schools. All parents should pay attention to this. Our government is now teaching sinful approaches to sexual morality.
