CONFIRMATION
Confirmation is a Christian education program designed for 7th and 8th grade students to develop and nurture their faith through spiritual practices, prayer, the study of the Bible and Luther's Small Catechism. Confirmands take part in worship, service to the church and the community, and build relationships with one another. Confirmation is a 2+ year program that meets during the academic school year on Wednesday evenings, 6:00–6:45 PM. Parents are invited to participate 4-6 times each year. 9th grade students are paired with a mentor during Sept.-Oct.
TABERNACLE - high school youth group
Wednesday Nights 8:30-9:30PM, Grades 9-12, in CLC Youth Room.
We build on your faith with Jesus by fostering relationships with the church, your peers, and your community. Remembering Faith, Fun, and Flexibility keeps us focused and inviting. Food, games, discussion, field trips, and whatever God leads us too, will be part of the curriculum. Bring your smile and your open heart to dive in a little deeper in your faith!

Wednesday Night meals
Come for food and our place! We invite you to join us for dinner each Wednesday evening (When SONday School & Confirmation are taking place). This free meal is served to CLC members and guests from 5:30-6:45PM in the upstairs fellowship hall/library, and you are welcome.

ELCA Youth Gathering
“Created to be…”
Our Tabernacle High School youth group took part in this summer’s 2024 ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) Youth Gathering in New Orleans, Louisiana. What an amazing week of faith formation, relationship building, and connection to the larger church and world! Drawing from Psalm 139, our group learned how God creates us to be brave, authentic, free, and disruptive; and God sends us out as disciples of Jesus. We connected with youth from across the ELCA and world, while engaging with the culture of New Orleans…and having a ton of fun along the way, too!
Vacation Bible School (VBS)
“Take a Hike with Jesus!”
We had an amazing Vacation Bible School (VBS) adventure in faith this past summer! Children (kinder-prep through 5th grade) gathered for the week. VBS included activities, Bible stories, crafts, music, science experiments, games, and outdoor fun!
CLC partners with Grand Valley Lutheran Church for VBS.
daily faith life
God intends faith and baptism to be a daily walk, through our entire life. God invites each of us on this journey. Here is a short video of simple faith practices you can incorporate into your daily and weekly life as a person and/or as a family unit, helping us to remember all that God has done for us, and to show God’s blessing to others.
Confirmation Camp
Each summer students in middle school, grades 6-8, are invited to go with Pastor Jon to NeSoDak Lutheran Bible Camp (near Waubay, SD) in early June. Our youth join with other youth from around the region for an awesome week of fun on the water and growing in faith.
