New MLC Confirmation class starts Sep/Oct. 2025 and concludes with Confirmation in 2026

Confirmation – What does that actually mean? Many may still remember their own confirmation as an exercise in memorization: the 10 Commandments, Psalm 23, the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer….

Of course, dealing with the basics of the Protestant faith is still a part of it – in a form that appeals to young people, their vernacular and their world. The emphasis is on finding answers to the questions that young people ask – who/what is God for me? How can I believe? What do 2000 years of Christian tradition have to do with my life?

The word confirmation comes from Latin and means: to strengthen, to consolidate. Our classes will help participants to confirm the “yes” to faith that was pronounced for them when they were baptized as infants.

Our new Confirmation class begins in September 2025 and concludes with Confirmation sometime in 2026. Sessions are aimed at young people starting grade 7 after the summer holidays or who

Our goal is to encourage them in the process: To show them that they are loved by God, and how they can deal with the fact that no one is perfect – both in themselves and in others. We hope that this Lutheran travel kit will be of help for the participating youth and their families on their exciting journey into adulthood.

Confirmation is not only a step to your adulthood as a part of the church and the world. Confirmation is above all, the affirmation and a clear ‘yes ’to your own Baptism.

Another core element of any confirmation class is forming a sustainable community. Playing together, eating together, and celebrating together; jointly preparing and organizing church services, exchanging ideas, perhaps even disagreeing at times, but striving towards a common goal. This is what young people can experience with us.
