Youth Ministry (Grades 7-12)
We welcome all youth to participate and lead in our ministries and programs. We believe that all people are of sacred worth, beloved children of God, and embrace our diversity within the Body of Christ. Whoever you are and wherever you are from, here you will find a safe, life-giving space to connect, grow and lead in your faith journey.

Confirmation
In the United Methodist Church, "confirmation" is a moment of recognition of the work of God's grace in the life of a person previously baptized as well as a full embrace of being a disciple of Jesus in one's own right. It marks the first time a baptized Christian publicly "confirms" their intention to live the vows of the baptismal and membership covenant and so becomes a professing member of the local congregation and The United Methodist Church. Confirmation is performed in preparation for reception into full membership in The United Methodist Church. Trinity UMC invites all 8th graders to participate in our Confirmation program. Confirmation class meets on Sunday mornings. Participants must register and commit to the entire program (begins in January) before being confirmed in the church. |
