The educational aspects of the Confirmation retreats are lead by synod leadership, including Pr. Michael Jannett (Assistant to the Bishop for Formation and Communication), Ms. Melissa Fuller-Sims (Assistant to the Bishop and Director for Evangelical Mission), and Pr. Nancy Christensen, and others. The Lutheranch support staff helps in other aspects, including hospitality, games, food, and more.
The retreats are held at the McKanna-Sandrock Retreat Center at Lutheranch (see pics below), where we explore the great outdoors, the lake, archery, games, and more.
The learning is based on a 2-year rotation of essential lessons for youth engaging in formation through Confirmation (aka "Affirmation of Baptism").
