Confirmation sessions will begin soon! All youth in 7th grade and up are invited to participate. There will be a Q&A for parents and youth on Sunday, Feb. 6 at 11:30am in the courtyard (the weekly sessions will also be held on Sundays at the same time). Confirmation is a special part of the faith journey and offers a fantastic opportunity to talk with and learn from our pastors and Erin. It will offer an overview of the Christian faith and what it means to follow Jesus and live according to his teachings. It will cover a basic understanding of Scripture, spiritual practices, and our Methodist heritage, and will help young people think theologically. Plus, we’ll have a lot of fun and make new friends!

In 2022, we have a goal to add $6000 to bring the scholarship to $20,000 so more students can benefit.
