Welcome to 9th Grade Confirmation!

Our confirmation program in 9th grade is meant to be a capstone experience. After two years of confirmation instruction (What It Means to Be A Lutheran & The Bible and the Big Questions), 9th grade is a chance for students to explore different ways to apply faith in their own lives: through acts of service, theological exploration, or spiritual practice. It is a chance for them to kindle whatever sparks have struck in their soul and let their own unique faith start to Burn. Students will explore their personal spiritual gifts, and each of the unique baptismal promises they will be affirming at their confirmation service.

9th grade gives students the chance to focus on and write their Faith statements, exploring the stories, relationships, ideas, and practices that will make their faith their own as they step into adult faith. Students will read these finished statements to each other on the retreat as a practice of sharing their faith, and listening and learning from the faith of others.

Burn will meet weekly at 5:00pm-6:30pm on Sunday nights from September 13 – October 4th. Each meeting will have some instruction time, game time, small group time, and a shared meal.
