Confirmation Journey
Confirmation is a personal faith process for students who are currently in 7th-12th grades, who would like to dive deeper into understanding what they believe and why. Confirmation at Woodbury Lutheran has been designed to be a personal experience that is driven by a student's desire to grow in their understanding of their baptismal faith. At the end of this journey, students publicly confirm and claim their identity as a disciple of Jesus.
