Greetings and welcome in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to Immanuel Lutheran Church's Confirmation blog. Your source for all things Confirmation!

A garden is a place of growth and care. Confirmation is about your faith growing. Growing in faith doesn't happen because of a blog of course, but it does happen because of God's action in our lives. Confirmation class will be a place where you discover the incredible things God has done in your life already!

The resources here will help you perform well in class and most importantly help your faith grow. Please feel free to contact Pastor Keith or Pastor Tiner with any questions you have.

To God be the Glory!

Yours in Christ,

Pastor Keith and Pastor Tiner
