Weddings

Confirmation

Confirmation (Affirmation of Baptism) is a program provided by the church for youth and adults to become adult voting members of the congregation. Confirmation is facilitated by the pastor and is both for members of our congregation as well as people wanting to become members but have no previous knowledge of being Lutheran. For Emmanuel members, the Confirmation Programs last for two years, usually during seventh and eighth grade. For people wanting to join our church but have no previous experience in a Lutheran church, the pastor will have a series of new members classes if there are a large number joining the church or meet with the individual or family in one-on-one sessions. During Confirmation individuals learn about Martin Luther and Lutheran history. Martin Luther’s Small Catechism is used to teach the fundamental teachings of the Lutheran tradition including: The Sacraments (Baptism and Holy Communion), the Creeds, Liturgical Worship, and the life and mission of the ELCA and Emmanuel Lutheran Church.
