Confirmation at Redeemer

At the beginning of the Gospel of Luke there is an opening word addressed to a Christian believer named Theophilus. Luke says that he wrote his Gospel so that Theophilus “may know the certainty of the things” he has learned as a Christian (see Luke 1:1-4). So, in a sense, we know the name of the first confirmand in the history of the church: Theophilus!

Following the example of the Luke, the Christian Church has long set aside a special season for youth as they begin their transition towards adulthood and called it Confirmation. The Confirmation experience at Redeemer Lutheran Church is an intentional time for youth and their parent to learn more about the Christian faith and be brought deeper into the life of Christ’s Church. The name Theophilus means “one who love’s God” and we pray that throughout the confirmation process all who are involved in it grow through the Spirit’s work more deeply in love with our God, who loves us perfectly in Jesus Christ.

Confirmation begins with an informational Luncheon at Redeemer on Sunday, August 24th starting at 12:15 pm in the Reception Room and then a retreat to Camp Lone Star on September 12th-13th at Camp Lone Star in LaGrange, Texas.
