Confirmation Class 2018
Confirmation refers to the decision a person makes to respond to God's grace with intentional commitment, publicly reaffirming his or her baptismal vows before the congregation, and baptism for those not previously baptized. Most confirmands are youths between the ages of ten and fourteen, who have been nurtured in the church since their baptism as an infant or young child; but not limited to such. During this class, confirmands will learn about the meaning of their Christian faith; the founding, history and teachings of the United Methodist Church; and an explanation of the baptismal and membership vows they will be professing on Confirmation Sunday. Completion of the class will give the confirmand an opportunity to obtain full membership to FUMCPO by confession of faith and commitment to the Church.
 
The First UMC of Port Orange typically offers the confirmation class on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings from 4:30-5:45p, consecutively for 8-10 weeks. Students who sign up for the class are invited to a kickoff weekend on March 2-4, 2018 at the Warren Willis Camp in Fruitland park, FL in which students will participate in their first 3 classes. Cost is only $25. Confirmation Sunday is held the first Sunday in May. Speak with the Senior Pastor or Youth Minister for more information or register by clicking the button below.

Middle School Believe Tour 2/23-2/24
Believe is a high-energy weekend event for middle school students only. It is structured specifically for middle school students and is packed with powerful worship and teaching from God's Word. 

The theme this year at Believe will focus on the idea of a relationship WITH Jesus. Many things can cause a Middle School student to become lonely. Anxiety, sin, depression, distorted identity, rejection, self-worth, abandonment, even technology plays a role. But God teaches us that relationships are key in life. A relationship with Jesus is where life really comes from - eternal life. And if Middle School students have a distorted view of how relationships work here on earth, they'll have a mistaken view of how a relationship with Jesus works. This year's Believe tour will help your students know exactly what it means to have a relationship WITH Jesus. By focusing on Matthew 28:20 and exploring the idea of a relationship "WITH" Jesus, Believe will help Middle School students discover how to worship God through a right and faithful relationship with Him.
 
If your student is interested in joining us for this amazing event, then sign up today.  Cost is $60 and we will leave immediately after school on February 23rd.  Student can use the money in their account.  They will also need money for 3 fast food meals.
