Sessions are taken from the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures as well as Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, however there is also time to discuss how our faith informs and influences our lives in our context. At the end of Confirmation, youth have the opportunity to join the congregation formally by affirming their baptism.

Family Ministry
Christ Lutheran Church is currently developing a family ministry program. We hope to develop a program that engages all ages of the church, and allows us to grow together as a community. Our first family night of 2010 is in April.
Friday, April 30th - 5:30 p.m. - Family Night Potluck
The topic will be "Nutrition and how it has chaged in recent years"
Everyone is invited!
Everything we do as part of the CLC Youth ministry is with an awareness of the “empty chair policy”, that is, there is always room for one more!
