Mentor Program

What is a confirmation mentor?

In general, a confirmation mentor is someone willing to befriend and guide a confirmation student in matters related to faith and life.  Ideally, a mentor is an adult, non-family member, who is actively involved in worship and congregational life at First Lutheran Church.  He or she has a sense that mentoring is one way in which people fulfill their vows to nurture the baptized and help them mature in healthy ways.  A mentor is not a parent, a peer, a bank, God or perfect.  But a mentor IS:

·         Someone to talk to.

·         Someone to say, “You matter to me.”

·         Someone who takes students seriously.

·         Someone who doesn’t judge.

·         Someone who is understanding.

·         Someone who loves to laugh.

·         Someone who can be serious.

·         Someone who cares.

At First Lutheran Church, confirmation mentors will be asked to do the following things:


·         Pray daily for their mentorling

·         Engage in regular ‘conversation’ (weekly is ideal)

·         Complete one service project together each year

·         Have at least one fun/fellowship time together

·         Attend Wednesday night Lenten worship services and engage in conversation with mentorling following service

·         Discuss matters of faith honestly, helpfully and candidly

·         Stand with their mentorling on Confirmation Day as they affirm their Baptism

·         Take interest in their mentorling’s life & activities

·         Be a friend who cares
