CONFIRMATIONConfirmation is a profession of faith. Since the Lutheran Church baptizes infants (who cannot make such a confession of faith) - we have a program that teaches and encourages youth to explore their faith and when they are ready to make a public profession of their faith before the church. Their vows say they are accepting the responsibility for their faith development, recognizing God has surrounded them with people and churches to help them on the journey. This is especially important since Our Savior ties confirmation with first communion. There is no longer a standard age or grade for confirmation throughout our Synod. Some churches have moved confirmation up earlier and others have moved it to a later date. Presently, we confirm 7th and 8th graders who successfully complete all the requirements and are ready to take their confirmation vows. While the confirmation program takes two years to complete (usually the 6th and 7th grades) we recognize there will be 8th graders who are new to Our Savior and have not been confirmed yet. Confirmation Class is held on the fourth Thursday of each month from 6:15 -7:30pm (August through May). The rest of the month there are podcasts, reading assignments, videos and a few quizzes to help reinforce the monthly topics. All fifth through eighth grade students are encouraged to attend the classes, although fifth graders won't have any homework! CLICK HERE FOR ONLINE CONFIRMATION FILES AND PODCASTS On Wednesdays we offer CAMP O.A.S.I.S. from 6:15pm - 7:30pm, (September through May) - a junior high youth event for fifth through eighth graders. You do not have to be a member of Our Savior or a student at the school to attend. The evenings are filled with games, snacks and a little bit of learning about God's wonderful plans for us. O.A.S.I.S. is the more practical side, helping us integrate our faith into our life.
