First Methodist Youth

Gather: Life is better in community, and we strive to provide opportunities + safe spaces for youth to make meaningful connection with each other and leaders.
Grow: Each of us is on a journey, and spiritual formation is the goal of our time together. Learning from each other about Christ is fundamentally important.
Go: We cannot simply come together and learn; we are compelled as Christ-followers to make disciples and serve our community and beyond.

Confirmation is an 8-month program geared towards rising 6th grade students. Confirmands meet on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour. Together, with an incredible team of adult leaders, our students explore the basic tenets of the Christian faith. Their time in class -- and on specialty trips! -- helps each and every confirmand learn what it means to become a fully devoted follower of Christ.

In the spring, Confirmands have the opportunity to participate in a church-wide service to respond to the grace of God. Those who have not yet been baptized, participate in the sacred ritual. All students are then offered the opportunity to join the Church as members of the United Methodist faith. In doing so, they promise to serve God and the Church through their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. 

We are a Safe Sanctuaries Church.  As a Christian community of faith, committed to ministry that includes children, youth, and vulnerable adults, we pledge to ensure the safety and well-being of our families.
