Head 2 Heart
What is it?
Head-2-Heart is our Wednesday evening Confirmation class (September-May) designed to help junior high students commit and grow in their faith by exploring Luther’s Small Catechism and other Biblical truths that are important to their literacy of God’s Word. As Pastor Kurt often says, no one is an expert but each of us will be confident with prayer, the Bible, and talking about God. Student believers will begin to develop a confident relationship with God by learning how to love God with all their mind, heart, and strength. ​
