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 late winter) before being confirmed in the church. |
