A Journey of Faith

Baptism and Worship, Sunday School and VBS, Confirmation/Affirmation of Baptism, lifelong attendance in Worship and reading of Scripture, and living a Christ-centered life in service to God's people!  This is a typical (but not only) sequential journey of faith development in the Lutheran tradition.

An important part of the journey of faith for young person's before they affirm their baptism is education in what it means to be a Lutheran Christian.  We look at God's activity of love since the beginning of creation--bringing together the bits and pieces learned over time into a whole picture of that love.  We talk about what it means to be a person graced by God in and through Jesus Christ.  We learn about how to live a life caring for the poor, the lost and the lonely.  We practice forgiveness and service to those in need.

The classes take place over a two year period of time, September through May.  The pastor teaches the course with assistance from lay members.  Any youth in 7th or 8th grade is welcome to be part of the classes with their friends.  Membership at Immanuel is not a requirement to attend confirmation classes.  Parents are always welcome to observe the classes.

We are a congregation which has been graced by God's incredible love.  All are welcome to worship and to receive the Lord's Supper.  If you have questions, please call the church and ask to speak to the pastor.
