2007 Confirmation Class Schedule

In Baptism, we recognize Gods claim on our lives. In Confirmation, students have an opportunity to claim the relationship God freely offers for them. Confirmation classes are for students sixth grade and up, who are interested in becoming members of the church. The class teaches the students important aspects of our faith: Baptism, Holy Communion, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the history of the Christian church, and the history of the United Methodist Church.

The class is designed to prepare the students to answer the all-important question:

“Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior,
put your whole trust in His grace,
and promise to serve Him as your Lord,
in union with the church which Christ
has opened to people of all ages, nations, and races?”

If you think your child is ready for this step in their Christian faith please plan to attend this important information meeting. Confirmation Class will be held on Sundays at 4:30 and will begin on January 28. Confirmation Sunday will be Pentecost Sunday, May 27 We will have a couple Saturday outings of missions and one conference event. This is a very exciting time but also requires a big commitment.

If you have any questions please feel free to call Tiffany Manley, Director of Youth Ministries at 553-6464 ext. 25, or email her.
