Frequently Asked Questions

What does “affirmation” mean?

“Affirm” means to maintain as true, to assert, and to pledge. Here’s another way to think of “affirmation of your baptism.” When you were baptized, very likely you were a baby and your parents brought you to the front of church to be marked as a child of God. It’s an important moment in your life, but – let’s be honest, you didn’t really have much of choice in the matter. When you complete the Confirmation program and are confirmed, you walk to the front of the church yourself, and affirm your faith with your own independence and conviction. This is a big moment for your role in our church, for your personal faith, and for growing up in general.

What is the difference between doing Confirmation classes and being "confirmed"? Enrolling in the Confirmation program is the first step to affirming your faith. It will equip you to answer questions like: Now, as an individual with your own thoughts, what do you believe about the meaning of your baptism? What do you believe about God and Jesus Christ? What do you feel called to do with your faith moving forward? You are confirmed after fully completing two years in the Confirmation program, where you will have the opportunity to build a stronger, more personal understanding what Lutheran faith is really about, discuss faith with your peers, and begin to explore how you can live out your faith in school and in the world.
