Confirmation Program

Youth in grades 7-12 are invited to join this one year program. Confirmation meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday from 6-8pm. Pastor Brooke is the lead teacher. Much of confirmation looks similar to youth group, with dinner, check-ins, and games. We also dive deeper into what it means to be a follower of Jesus and what a commitment to the church looks like if they decide to become full members of the church. The program includes:

• Learning how to read the Bible and about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral
• Lessons about the history of United Methodism
• Serving the church and serving the community in a variety of ways
• 1-on-1 sessions with a trusted mentor in the church
• Field trips to learn about different faith traditions (i.e. Jewish synagogue, Buddhist temple, Catholic mass)
• An Arts & Faith project presented at end of program year
