Confirmation is an exciting opportunity for growth and learning in the lives of Christ Little Rock’s youth. This program for 6th-8th grade partners with our Wednesday Youth Group, retreats, and other special events that will prepare students to personally affirm their baptismal faith, to receive Holy Communion, and to live as adult members of the church. We dive into The Bible, Luther’s Small Catechism. These are crucial years for spiritual formation for the youth of our church!
