What is Confirmation? What does it mean for Lutherans? When should one be confirmed? For some, Confirmation preparation may take place in the context of the home. For others, through youth ministry or a small group. Some students may be lifelong Lutherans while others may be new to the faith. With so many different needs, one approach isn't appropriate for every congregation. Confirmation Basics: Updated and Expanded addresses this issue by presenting eight different models for Confirmation instruction"helping you examine the pros and cons of each approach"and find the perfect match for your congregation.
