Confirmation

Christian Education and discipleship for 7th and 8th graders

Confirmation at Bethlehem is a two year process for our young people that culminates (if they wish) in a service of Remembrance of Baptism called "confirmation" in which the young person is reminded of the promises God has made to them and publicly claims as their own the promises made for them by parents and sponsors when they were Baptized.

  • Weekly confirmation classes happen Wednesday nights from 6-7:45pm as part of Akaloo  (see above)
  • We also meet monthly with confirmation classes from all over Spokane on the second Sunday of the month from 4-6pm at Central Lutheran for "Second Sunday" www.SecondSundaySpokane.org



Adult Education

Every Sunday: Christian Education for adults and teens at 9am
All classes open to everyone (no experience necessary)
If you are interested in a "Basics of Faith" class, let the pastor know

2007-2008 Schedule
  • Reading the Book of Acts
Sept 16th until November 25th

The Book of Acts is the story the early foundation and mission of the Christian Church.  We hope that as many people as possible from our congregation and neighborhood will join together to delve deeply into this story, and together hear the Word God is speaking for us today.  This is really a "no experience necessary" experience.  I hope you'll join us.


  • Living Lutheran
10 weeks starting Dec 2nd

Drawing off our experience reading the Book of Acts, we will read "Living Lutheran: Renewing your congregation" by Rev. Dave Daubert.  Together we will seek to hear the call of God for us as people and for our congregation.

Reading the Gospel of Matthew

Starting after Living Lutheran (around Feb 6th)

The Gospel of Matthew is the source of most of our Gospel readings during worship this year.  Together we will explore this book, and continue to develop our abilities to listen for and talk about what we hear God saying to us through the scriptures.  Our questions for this study will be: "What does this passage tell us about God?" and "What does this passage tell us about God's dream for me or for the world?"  Everyone is welcome--beginning Bible readers encouraged (come learn from our wise masters!)
