Confirmation Ministry During a Pandemic:
Please Share Ideas for Distance Learning Approach
Lutheran Faith Formation is a family-oriented Confirmation process that is intended to help families grow together in faith. It begins at Baptism with the baptismal promises and helps parents keep these promises to their children starting at Baptism and continuing through 12th grade.
The approach is event-oriented not classroom-oriented, although there are some short periods of classroom learning. In other words, it is not the traditional Wednesday night Confirmation class!
Every step of the way, parents are involved along with their children. Eventually the nuclear family is expanded to include church family as age appropriate for the children.
Because this is a family and event-oriented as well as a short classroom learning experience, it is suited to distance learning for many of the grade levels involved.
We are currently looking into ways of providing you with ideas for a distance learning approach. We would love for you to share ideas if you have currently used distance learning for your Sunday School or Confirmation programs.
To this end, I will be posting the curriculum for each grade level and seeking ideas for home and distance learning opportunities to convey it to families.
Please help by sharing your ideas too. Thank you!
