Youth Ministries (7th-12th Grade)

7th Grade Confirmation
Confirmation is a wonderful starting point within the United Methodist Church wherein 7th grade students can delve deeply into the tenets of our faith and ask tough questions in a safe environment. The promise parents make at their student's baptism to raise them in God's love is "confirmed" at this time. Students who have not previously been baptized have an opportunity to do so along with their confirmation at the end of the class. Register now - class begins September 9!
Parents will need to attend one of the informational meetings in YAC 404, Sunday, August 19, 12:15-1:15pm or Wednesday, August 22, 6:15-7:15pm.
