Inquirers and Confirmation Classes back to top

If you are interested in learning more about the Episcopal Church — worship, history, beliefs — you are encouraged to attend one of two Adult Inquirers’ Classes taught by the Rector in the spring and fall. These classes are provided with the intent of sharing our faith experience with you and with a hope that you might come to seek God in your own faith journey. You are encouraged to worship with us during this time of study and reflection. The youth of the parish go through a confirmation process within the Journey to Adulthood program (see Rite-13 section below). Following this adult series, the opportunity for Confirmation or Reception by the Bishop is made available.

For scheduling information, please contact Susan Barta at (308) 236-5821 or via e-mail at: stlukes@citlink.net.

Youth Confirmation Class

The class begins each fall for students in grades 5-8 who desire to prepare for the sacrament of confirmation. The three year program meets on Wednesdays for equal portions of learning about the church, food and fun, and prayer. Parents are also active participants and assist in the program.

Contact: Susan Barta.
