Confirmation - Fall 2025
This fall, we’re excited to offer Confirmation for students 7th grade and older in a brand-new way! To make space for Mrs. Megan’s upcoming maternity leave—and to allow Rev. Latricia, our new head pastor, to help lead the experience—we’re moving this year’s Confirmation to Sunday night Youth Group instead of Sunday mornings. This shift gives us the unique opportunity to walk through Confirmation together as a full youth community, with the support of both our pastoral and youth leadership.
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 that 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.
