Growing in Faith

Growing in grace is a lifelong project. Christians who are baptized as infants begin their journey even before they can remember. At Grace we consciously design an entire spectrum of learning resources for persons of every age and stage of life. Together we open each other's lives to make way for the Holy Spirit to deepen our faith; together we discover how God is weaving the story of Jesus into the warp and woof of our lives.

Sunday School
Sunday School is for children in ages 3 through 5. Our classes use a variety of learning techniques and activities to help children grow in discipleship. We explore Bible stories, make music together, and immerse ourselves in activity projects that help us expand our understanding of how we fit into God's plans as caring, loving citizens of planet Earth. Classes are geared to provide a variety of ways to enter into God's Word and honors the different ways children are able to learn. Classes will get underway again on September 9 at 8:45 am.

Confirmation Ministry

What is confirmation?

When young children are baptized, parents promise to help them grow in faith by teaching the Bible, the Ten Commandments, Creed and Lord's Prayer. Over the years—at home, at church and Sunday School—our children learn about what it means to be a Christian. When a child enters Middle School, it’s time to "put it all together." That’s what we do in Confirmation. Here’s a good definition—

Confirmation is a pastoral and educational ministry of the church that helps the baptized through word and sacrament to identify more deeply with the Christian community and participate more fully in its mission.
How does Grace prepare our youth for confirmation?

The pastor and members of Grace, along with parents, help young members to get ready. During September through May of the sixth through eighth grade years, youth meet with the pastor and other adult members of Grace to explore what baptism means and how we are a part of God’s plan to love the world. Some of our meetings happen on Sunday mornings, during the Christian Education Hour. And middle school confirmands meet with the youth from Atonement Lutheran on Wednesday evenings.
