Please look over these dates and take them seriously. The Confirmation class teaches a lot of information in a relatively short period of time. We ask that your student attend every session and the retreat. The material builds on itself and there will be a make-up assignment due if you are absent.
Who can attend?
We offer our Confirmation class to students who are currently in 6th grade or older.
Is there a cost for Confirmation?
No. There is not a cost for Confirmation. We do go on a Confirmation retreat as a part of the class, and the cost of the retreat is $150. If you are in need of a scholarship, please contact David at davidk@fumcwp.org
Are parents needed?
Absolutely! Most importantly, we need you as parents to be loving and supportive of your student as they participate in this exciting journey. We also hope that our parents would consider being a Confirmation Mentor. This does not mean that you are a Biblical scholar or that you even know the material that will be taught. We simply desire you to walk with these students as they go through the class and help them along this experience in their faith.
We are excited about Confirmation and hope that you will participate! If you have any questions about Confirmation, please contact David at davidk@fumcwp.org.
