At Incarnation we take great care in our Confirmation program to provide our young people the resources and opportunity to realize full membership in Christ's Church on Earth through the Affirmation of Baptism. We provide a two year program that teaches them the meaning of the promises made on the day of their Baptism. Promises that were made by God for their eternal salvation through His grace and promises made by them or on their behalf:
to live among God's faithful people,
to hear His Word and share in His supper,
to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed,
to serve all people, following the example of our Lord Jesus,
and to strive for justice and peace in all the Earth.
Along the way there is the history of the early church and the reformation to learn. On this road they also study scripture, the Small Catechism, the ways in which we worship the Lord and what we mean when we profess our faith before God, our friends and everyone else. When they have completed this journey, they have seen what it takes and what it means to truly be in community among God's people in God's house - We find that most of them arrive with a very strong and surprisingly mature sense of their own faith.
