Confirmation Class!
Want to know what a Methodist is exactly? Want to know what we believe and value as Methodists? Want to know about our founding roots and where we come from?
Confirmation is an important step for every youth's life to realize exactly what it is exactly that we believe and do as Methodists. All youth that are 7th grade or older are invited to join us for our annual Confirmation program, which explains all that and more! Youth will attend weekly Sunday meetings, a day trip with their Friends in Faith, and a district retreat to Lazy W camp! After our classes are over, youth will be invited to join our church as members on Pentecost Sunday!
Our first meeting is on
Sunday, February 12th
