Confirmation is a significant faith journey. It is a time to assist young people as they explore what it means to participate in a relationship with God, what it means to be a Christian, and what it means to be a member of the United Methodist Church. On this journey, faith experiences will help shape youth into loyal and steadfast disciples. This journey begins for many in infancy, at baptism. It continues as parents, family members, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, pastors, and other members of the congregation work to help youth learn and grow.

In the 6th grade, we experience a major milestone in our pilgrimage: confirming, or making firm, our personal commitment to our baptismal faith. This act of confirming, of making our first public profession of our baptismal faith, is what we call confirmation. Following this preparation, your child will be invited to profess their faith in Jesus Christ and become a member of this local congregation of the United Methodist Church.
