Youth are invited to explore their faith and learn more about the history of Christianity and the Methodist Church in our Confirmation program. The Confirmation journey begins with Confirmation Camp early in the summer, and continues with lessons, experiences, and faith visits. Students work with a mentor throughout the Confirmation year to build a relationship with an established and active member. The Confirmation journey concludes in the Spring with a special service congratulating the students on their work and confirming new members.
