Confirmation class (aka catechism class) is an educational ministry of the Church for baptized Christians to equip them with the essential principles of Christianity for the purpose of helping them personally affirm the baptismal covenant God made with them, personally confirm their faith in Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord, personally identify more deeply with the Christian community, and personally commit to participate more fully in Christian life and mission.

Those who missed out on confirmation classes when they were young, or for those who didn’t miss out but would like to refresh this instruction, the following confirmation curriculum has been adapted for adult participants:

July 12: Who wrote the Bible?

July 19: Can it be proven that God Exists?

July 26: What is the Church of Jesus Christ?

Aug. 2: If Jesus Christ is God then why did He have to die?

Aug. 9: Is Christ really the only way to God and heaven?

Aug. 16: Can I accept both evolutionary theory and creation theology?

Aug. 23: Why does God let bad things happen?

Aug. 30: Does the Book of Revelation really describe how the world will end?

(Please note: This adult confirmation class can serve as a preparation for Holy Baptism for those who have a personal faith in Jesus Christ but have not yet been baptized.)

Over these eight Wednesdays in July and August, from 6:45 p.m. to 8 p.m., Mount Olive Lutheran Church in La Crescenta, through the eight topics listed above, will explore Christian life, faith, theology and spirituality, drawing upon the truth of Almighty God within the Ten Commandments, the Apostle’s Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and various key passages of the Holy Bible.

All those seeking to deepen their understanding of Christ and to strengthen the foundation of their personal relationship with God are welcome to attend! And bring a friend!

Mount Olive Lutheran Church is located at 3561 Foothill Blvd. in La Crescenta.
