Confirmation time 
The confirmation time is an important time, which you should try to take care of. It is not primarily there to give you a few nice summer weeks, but first of all wants to be a guide in life's most important issues. Our highest goal is to help you to a conscious and true Christian life!
The goal is to demonstrate life in Christ by giving the confirmands:: 
• Attachment to interpret his life in baptism because
• Opportunity to highlight the issues they themselves carry the 
• Experience of Christian faith and church life is all about the central questions of life 
• Experience of community worship and devotion 
• Ability to be affected by and take a position on the church's message 
• Allows users to express their faith and doubt
