Confirmation
At Pilgrim Lutheran Church, we cherish the tradition of confirmation as a significant milestone in the journey of faith. Rooted in our Lutheran heritage, confirmation is a time-honored sacrament that marks a profound commitment to Christ and the Church.
Confirmation is a rite of passage where individuals affirm their baptismal vows and publicly declare their faith in Jesus Christ. It is a time of spiritual growth, education, and reflection, as candidates deepen their understanding of God’s Word and the teachings of the Church.
A Journey of Discovery
In the Lutheran tradition, confirmation is not merely a formality but a deliberate and intentional process of faith formation. Through study, prayer, and participation in the life of the Church, confirmands explore the depths of Christian doctrine and discern their own beliefs and convictions.
Confirmation is often undertaken during adolescence, a crucial period of personal and spiritual development. It provides an opportunity for young people to take ownership of their faith, to ask questions, and to wrestle with the complexities of theology in a supportive and nurturing environment.
At the conclusion of the confirmation process, candidates publicly affirm their faith before the congregation, affirming their baptismal vows and committing themselves to a life of discipleship. It is a joyous occasion celebrated by the entire faith community.
Confirmation is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a lifelong walk with Christ. Confirmands are encouraged to remain active in the Church, to deepen their relationship with God, and to serve others in love and humility.
