YOUTH
St. Michael Youth are on Fire for Jesus!
Our Mission for Youth
St. Michael Youth are on fire for Jesus! Our prayer is that students will develop a personal relationship with God and have a place to learn, grow, and connect with Jesus and others. As they navigate middle school, high school, and beyond, our hope is that they can become more like Jesus, belong to a body of believers, and bless the world with the light of Christ.
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”

Confirmation
Confirmation is more than just classes, it is an opportunity for students to learn, grow, and live out their faith. We want to equip and empower students to live out their faith where they live, work, and play. From 6th – 8th grade, students will attend Sunday morning Confirmation class from 9:30 – 10:30 AM, Labor Day to Memorial Day.
6TH & 7TH GRADE
Faith Foundations
In this class, students will study the Bible (year 1) and Luther’s Small Catechism (year 2). The goal of this class is for students to take a deep dive into the foundational parts of our faith. Through games, teaching time, discussions, and videos, students will learn about the 6 Chief Parts in Luther’s Small Catechism and take a journey through the Bible.
8TH GRADE
The Christian Faith
This class will apply what students have learned in our Faith Foundations class to their everyday lives. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about spiritual disciplines, see how the 6 chief parts are used in our daily lives to defend our faith, and see their faith in action. The goal of this class is that students will be prepared to continue on their discipleship journey.
