Continuing Our Faith our Confirmation program. It is for those who are 13 and older and want to learn more about their faith. Students are guided in exploring their faith over two years -- one focusing on the Bible and the other on what Lutheranism is -- through worship, prayer, service projects, discussion, and study.
