Confirmation
Confirmation – Jan-Mar 2027
This spring, we’re excited to offer Confirmation for students in 7th grade and older! Classes will meet on Sundays from 3:30–5:00 PM before youth group and will be taught by Pastor Latricia, Megan, and our youth leaders. Together, we’ll explore questions of faith and help students grow in their relationship with God. We encourage students to stay afterward for youth group from 5:00–7:30 PM for dinner, games, worship, and time with friends!
What is Confirmation?
Confirmation is an opportunity for students to explore their faith in a deeper way. They’ll learn about what we believe, why we believe it, and how to apply it to our daily lives. We will discuss United Methodist theology along with other basic Christian beliefs to begin to lay the foundation for students to develop a personal faith of their own. Our goal is to help students build a strong foundation for a personal and lasting relationship with God.
What’s Included?
· 6 weekly Confirmation Classes
· A weekend Retreat
· Beach Night Celebration
· Confirmation Sunday
Attendance Requirements:
To be confirmed, students are expected to attend All Confirmation Classes and events, including:
· All 6 weekly classes
· The weekend retreat
· Beach Night
· Confirmation Sunday
We understand that life happens—students may miss one class if absolutely necessary, but they will be required to schedule a make-up session with Megan. Missing more than one class or any of the special events may disqualify a student’s Confirmation this season.
