The rite of Confirmation is a time-honored practice within the Methodist Church and many denominations where youth enter a period of learning and discernment. Through the process they are taught many of the basic elements of the Christian Faith and invited to consider what God’s call upon their life may be. It ends with a celebration and confirmation of their faith in Jesus Christ and full membership into the life of their given congregation.

Our confirmation cohort for Spring 2024 will run from Feb 25 to May 19 and gather on Sundays from 4:30 - 5:30 PM. There are a few Saturday sessions that will be activity oriented on March 16, April 20, and May 11 that will run from 3-5 PM.

Confirmation Sunday will be May 19 on Pentecost‍

When will regular gatherings be?

All of our lessons are read through a lens of Methodist Theology and an understanding based on the grace we have come to know in Jesus Christ. All questions are encouraged and welcomed.
