UPCOMING YOUTH GROUP EVENTS

Confirmation Classes

Confirmation classes at Heavenly Host Lutheran Church will start with a "Welcome Night" for new and returning students and their parents on Wed, Sept 15th @ 6:15pm. Class will meet regularly on Wednesdays, starting Sept 29th. Class time (afternoons/evenings) will be determined when we gather on the 15th. We look forward to seeing you on the 15th!

Confirmation Program Overview

Our Confirmation program is a two-year class that aims to equip students to better understand the Bible, to grow in their Christian faith, and in their relationship with Jesus! Students begin at various grade levels (often 6th, 7th, or 8th grade). Class typically starts in September and meets on Wednesday in the afternoon or evening. Visit with Pastor or DCE Emily asap if your student is interested in starting class this year. Thank you! 

Confirmation Sunday

Confirmation Sunday is typically on Palm Sunday (March) during the 10:30am worship service.

Students that complete their confirmation studies outside of the traditional class model are confirmed on a Sunday sometime during the year.

Learn to Acolyte!

Confirmation students and all youth (5th grade +) are invited to serve during the worship service in a very special way, by acolyting- lighting the candles. Interested in learning more? Contact the church office.
