Confirmation is a Rite within the Lutheran Church whereby people have an opportunity to ‘confirm their faith’ (make a public affirmation of the faith as expressed on the day of their baptism) and to ‘be confirmed in the faith’ (to receive a blessing). 

​

Generally, St Mark's confirmation starts around late primary / early high school (age 12-14) and involves a Course of Instruction leading up to a confirmation service.

​

At St Mark's, our next confirmation class will commence in July 2023, and will be taught by a team of Pastor Joel and lay people following the Grow Ministries Confirmation program. 

​

Confirmation also involves instruction to obtain first communion (sometimes known as Steps to Communion). 

​

We also touch on the teachings of the Lutheran Church as expressed in Martin Luther’s Small Catechism.
