Confirmation
STARTING THE INTENTIONAL FAITH JOURNEY
UPUMC's Confirmation Class is a year-long program designed to give our youth a more in-depth study of the history of Christianity and United Methodist beliefs and practices, preparing them to live the life of a United Methodist Christian. The class consists primarily of 6th graders, but other ages are welcome.
Our curriculum aims to empower youth to explore their faith and ask the questions they wonder about the Bible, creed, disciples, Jesus, other beliefs, and hot topics. These lessons are addressed in different, creative ways. We proudly recognize our teachers' strong commitment to knowing our youth and giving them space to ask questions.
During the year, we will offer opportunities to visit another worshipping community, participate in serving our community, and have a retreat!
We are excited about this program and the foundations it sets for our young people's future. If you or someone you know might be interested in participating in Confirmation (at any age) or helping in a coordinator role, contact Rev. Colin Craft.
