Middle School Confirmation
Confirmation is offered Wednesday nights from 6:15-7:45 pm (September – May) in the Auditorium at Peace. Our Confirmation program is intended to equip our youth with foundational faith knowledge so that they can fully live as followers of Christ. The evening begins with worship, followed by large group fellowship and teaching, and finally youth have time in their small groups to discuss the lesson, talk about life, and pray together. Small groups are separated by age and gender and have 1-2 adult guides working with them throughout the year. Youth will work their way through the Bible and Luther’s Small Catechism to highlight the core teachings of the Church.
Registration is Now Open for 2025-2026.
Our program year starts September 7, 2025, and runs through May 17, 2026 (following the ECASD calendar).
High School Youth Group
Youth Group takes place in the Refuge at Peace from 6:30-8:00 pm on Sunday nights (September – May). Youth Group equips high schoolers with a Christ-centered community and a judgment-free space to ask questions and learn about applying their faith in everyday life. Our time together begins with hangout time to build community (along with snacks!) and is followed by a group game and then a Bible study. Our Bible studies will typically focus on a specific topic or book of the Bible. These lessons will help youth dig into their faith and think through how Jesus changes their lives.
Upcoming Events
Mother-Daughter Retreat
5th-7th Grade • March 6-7, 2026
Camp Luther, Eagle River, WI
Peace Church has the opportunity to join Our Savior Lutheran Church in Eagle River for a Mother/Daughter Retreat at Camp Luther.
Here are some of the things you can expect:
“The Talk” – Mom, you’ll discuss with your daughter key issues that impact her current decision-making and future life: beauty, media, puberty, sex, and dating.
Connecting with your daughter – There will be several special one-on-one times with your daughter. You and/or her father will each write a letter to her before the event. You’ll present the letters to her on Friday night. We’ll talk about writing those letters at the orientation meeting.
Gift for your daughter – Your daughter will receive a journal in which you and she will write notes to each other in the months ahead. The journal is a gift from Our Savior Lutheran Church.
Blessing - You’ll speak a blessing over your daughter twice – at the end of the retreat and at a worship service on the Sunday morning following the retreat at the 10 a.m. service. The blessing at church is optional for those who have another church home.
Your cost for the retreat is $91 per mother/daughter, which includes materials, housing, and two meals at Camp Luther. If you need financial aid, please indicate that on your registration form. The remaining costs for the retreat, materials, and other snacks & gifts are covered by Our Savior Lutheran Church or its members.

The Fam Jam Podcast
The Fam Jam podcast exists to equip your family to fully live as disciples of Jesus.
It is hosted by Caleb Haack and Anna Reineke, who have nearly 15 years of combined ministry experience as certified Directors of Christian Education. They draw on their own ministry backgrounds and experiences with teaching kids and families to discuss Biblical topics and how they relate and apply to families.
The key question the Fam Jam Podcast seeks to answer is: What does it look like to be a follower of Jesus - a disciple - in our families, so that we can live into our God-given potential? If that’s a question you are looking to answer for yourself and your family, then you’ve come to the right place. New episodes every two weeks!
Help Guide Our Youth…
Consider Volunteering
Here at Peace Church, our Confirmation program is led by leaders but runs on the generous hearts of adult leaders willing to “guide” a small group of students on Wednesday nights. Watch the video below to hear how impactful serving our youth has been for several of our current small group leaders.
