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.

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.

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.
