Confirmation Curriculum

at First Lutheran Church

Huntingtown, MD 20639

Instructors & Instruction:
The Director of Christian Education (DCE) Shawn Maassel, leads Confirmation instruction with the help of Pastor Paul Liersemann as well as an occasional guest instructor.
Participation:
Confirmation is a preparation for adult study and membership in the church.  6th -8th grade students are invited to participate in a two-year course of study (see below) to help prepare them for such membership. Confirmation is not a graduation, but one phase of a continuing study in the Word of God throughout life.
