Catechism classes at Mt. Olive are for early teens, typically during their 5th to 8th grade years. Students study God’s Word with the assistance of Luther’s Small Catechism and some parental involvement.

After completion of this time in God’s Word, students desiring to become active “members” at Mt. Olive are “confirmed” in their faith. This simply means they have an opportunity to tell the congregation they’re no longer coming to be served by God’s Word through the ministry of Mt. Olive because their parents bring them. Instead, a “confirmed” child now tells the whole congregation, “I’ve studied God’s Word for myself. I believe what you believe! And I want to become a part of this ministry too.” .

If your child(ren) are ready to begin instruction for Confirmation (generally grades 5-8) please contact the church office.  You may email our church office at the link below to notify us and find out more.
