Confirmation in The United Methodist Church is a time of intentional preparation, leading to the first public profession of faith. During this time young persons "make firm" what has gone before: God's prevenient grace, baptism, the teaching and witness of parents and other persons of faith, the teachings and life together in the church, the student's own growing faith. Youth are invited to claim for themselves the name Christian and the name United Methodist. Confirmation is a significant step in the journey of faith.
Confirmation is the choice a young person makes to respond to God's grace with intentional commitment, publicly reaffirming his or her baptismal vows before the congregation. Young people choose to participate in a formative adventure with other confirmands, faith friends, teachers and pastors to learn the meaning of Christian Faith: the history, teachings and stories of our faith and United Methodist tradition.
