| Confirmation Confirmation is a custom of the church and is not a sacrament. It links us to our Baptisms, celebrates the reception of the Lord’s Word among us and, in cases where the confirmands have not yet communed, welcomes them to the Lord’s Table. Confirmation declares of a person that he or she is a Christian who has been baptized, confesses the faith, and is in communion with Christ and His Church. The reception of confirmands to the Lord’s Table assumes that ongoing learning and spiritual growth is the way of life for the faithful Christian. The Rite of Confirmation emphasizes God’s work in Baptism, the gift of faith, and the promises of the Lord’s Supper for all who believe in Christ and the words of His testament. Youth are prepared for Confirmation by participating in the religion classes in St. Luke Christian Day School or the Youth Confirmation Classes at the church. Adults who wish to be confirmed in the Lutheran Church at St. Luke participate in the Discipleship 101 Class: Discovering Membership in Christ's Body. For more information
