What is Confirmation?

You’ll notice that Confirmation has the word "firm" in it. Confirmation is a time when you have the opportunity to make a firm decision whether you will claim the name "Christian" for yourself and whether you will offer your prayers, presence, gifts and service as a member of the United Methodist Church.

2007 Confirmands and Friends in Faith

Some of you may have been baptized as an infant, for instance. Confirmation would be a time you could claim for yourself the vows your parents once made on your behalf. If you’ve never been baptized, at the end of Confirmation, you may choose to be baptized and claim the name“Christian” for yourself.

Confirmation may be repeated so it may be a time of reaffirmation of one’s faith. Such a decision would be your choice.

Why would I choose to go through Confirmation now? As a teen or pre-teen, you are at a special age when you are not only making more decisions for yourself but also may find yourself questioning what you believe. Confirmation is a great time to ask those questions. You would have the Confirmation Team of teachers and your pastors available to seek answers with you and to share from their own journeys of faith. In addition, you would have your very own adult Friend-in-Faith who would encourage you throughout the year.

Confirmation would help you have a firm foundation for the important decisions that lie ahead and would be a caring community of youth and adults. Along the Confirmation journey, you would also discover gifts from our United Methodist heritage that will help guide you on your journey of faith.
