Confirmation Class is a year of exploration at First United Methodist Church. Youth in sixth grade will take a closer look at what it means to become an adult in faith, what it means to make a commitment to Jesus Christ, and what it means to share in faith with Christians around the world. We use the Confirm curriculum by the United Methodist Publishing House.

​

The experience includes weekly class sessions during the Sunday School hour, time with an adult mentor, a weekend retreat, 2 one-day retreats, and worship opportunities with other congregations. The class culminates with a church-wide dinner and a Confirmation Worship Service. 

​

If you have questions about Confirmation Year, please contact the director of children & family ministries, or Kayla Carico, the director of youth ministries.
