“Confirmation ties together God’s act in Christ and our response in faith. It reminds us of the power of the community of faith and promises the presence of the Spirit on our journey,” (OC, p. 31).

All meetings, field trips, and workshops are mandatory. Confirmation students and partners are expected to attend. The Sunday school hour will be very important as we will cover the Bible, the basics of our faith, and Methodism during these classes. Attendance for these classes are mandatory as well. The work that is covered is very important and is difficult to make up. Please check your calendars carefully before signing up. We understand that emergencies happen and we will always work with those situations.

You can make your payments following our payment schedule (listed below) or pay the yearly total all at once. If you choose to pay all at once, payment is due on the first payment deadline.
