Confirmation

Confirmation is the process where Junior High students starting in 6th grade are offered a six-month program (mid-October - April) which, after completion, youth may join the church as full members on Confirmation Sunday normally held on the fourth Sunday in April. Youth grow spiritually and better understand their faith through weekly Wednesday evening classes, a cross-cultural worship experience, service, and a retreat. Curriculum used in this class comes from the Credo: Know Your Story; Confirm Your Faith; Live Your Commitment materials published by Cokesbury.

The purpose of Confirmation is to invite those youth who seek to join the United Methodist Church in a safe environment to learn about the Christian Faith and Methodist practices. These youth will walk in faith with one another and will be joined by a Friend in Faith from the congregation who will act as an encourager and fellow follower of Christ. Information regarding Confirmation will be distributed to all incoming sixth graders in August. If you have any questions regarding the confirmation process, please contact Shawn Welling, Director of Youth Ministries.
