Pre-Confirmation Classes
is a program for students in grades three through six to become more
acquainted with the Biblical narrative than offered in Sunday school and to
become familiar with portions of Luther's Small Catechism.
Pre-Confirmation Classes meet on Monday
evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Grades Three & Four use the instructional
book, One Hundred Bible Stories to learn the Biblical narrative of both
the New and Old Testament. Students
learn the books of the Bible so they can easily locate passages and accounts.
Grades Five & Six use the instructional guide, Living
in Christ, uses Bible stories to teach the Six Chief Parts of Christian
doctrine.
Memorization is an important aspect of instruction in Pre-Confirmation. Over and over again the Bible speaks of knowing Scripture,
having it in one's heart. Memorization of texts of Scripture and portions of
the Six Chief
Parts of The Small Catechism provides the framework and basic building
blocks of faith. See the article Why Memorize? for further explanation of
our rationale for memorization.
