This three year program begins in 7th grade and leads to Affirmation of Baptism typically in the fall of the sophomore year, though there is no deadline and teens may take as much time as they need. The program goes like this:
Club 78 - 7th and 8th Grade
Wednesday evenings for 90 minutes
The evening includes music, large group activities, a short lesson delivered by a pastor or other speaker, followed by time with a small group led by one or two adult group guides. In small groups, youth discuss the lesson on a more personal level, share how their week is going, raise any faith questions, and share prayer concerns. They will complete the night with refreshments. The journey also includes fellowship, worship, and study.
We are using a curriculum out of Ausburg Fortress this year called "Here We Stand." Click "Winking Luther" to access the new Student Website. You'll need a login and password from your Group Guide.

Club 9 - 9th Grade
Wednesday evenings for 60 minutes
Club 9 is the final year (typically freshmen) of Confirmation and is very different from Club 78. Club 9 students will each choose an adult mentor with whom they will meet regularly to discuss faith issues, share their lives, participate in service projects together, and develop lasting friendships. Participation in fellowship, worship and study, similar to the Club 78 segment is also included.
Additional information and a schedule are pending
