Confirmation is an intensive 9-month program where students 7th grade and older experience the Christian faith. Activities will focus on faith history, Methodist traditions, and personal faith development.
Confirmation is a comprehensive program that includes classes, retreats, socials, field trips, mission projects, and special worship services.
Due to the importance of the Confirmation process, students are expected to attend at least 80% of classes and all of the following "extracurricular" events. If there is an unavoidable conflict, please talk to Donna or the Confirmation leaders about make up classes.
