Sunday Opportunities
Confirmation
Confirmation class is for 7th graders or older who have not been confirmed in the church. This class teaches the history of the United Methodist Church, what Methodists believe, what it means to be a Christian, and how to live a Christ-filled life. The class ends on Confirmation Sunday when the youth commit their life to Christ.
