Confirmation Retreat 2025:

Retreat is January 10-12, 2025
Registration is NOW OPEN until December 31st at midnight! Deadline to register has been EXTENDED!

This retreat offers an opportunity for our middle school students to learn what it means to defend the faith in a world that constantly challenges us our beliefs. With our theme verse of 1 Peter 3:15, we will be exploring how to use apologetics to both defend our faith against others as well as encourage our apologetics to both defend our faith against others as well as encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ with any doubts that may rise. Join us as we grow in community and fellowship, standing firm on the hope we have in Christ!

Bethany Lutheran Church offers a three year Confirmation program to all 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th graders. We believe that Confirmation plays a vital role in the lives of our youth and families. It helps to promote spiritual formation and cultivates peer-to-peer and multi-generational faith connections.

This multiple year program is all-inclusive in its teachings. Your child(ren) will learn about the absolute truth of Scripture, Lutheran Theology and Doctrine, and how to actively live in the faith given to them through the power of the Holy Spirit. We cannot stress enough the importance of participating in all aspects of this program. We feel this Confirmation program is an integral component in the partnership between church and home in the faith formation of your child(ren).

If you are interested in our Confirmation program and have any further questions, please contact Kayleigh Lopez, Minister of Youth.
