Q: What is Confirmation?
A: The word “confirmation” means “with firm-ness”. Confirmation is just part of the journey in your walk with God. Confirmation is part of a faith journey with the destination being a life that increasingly reflects a deep relationship with God.

Confirmation classes at CUMC are designed to completely wrap the sixth grade seeker in the loving arms of the congregation through the mentorship program; to immerse them as a peer group in the process of making a personal commitment; and guides the parents of this age child to a position of understanding and support. At this meaningful time of life, this age child makes a series of decisions that can impact their life forever. With Christ as the cornerstone, we believe that the confirmation process will indeed fulfill our goal in Children’s Ministries: to equip each child for a continuing, service-filled journey leading to a meaningful way of life.

This year’s Confirmation will feature a new addition: Each Confirmand will have a mentor chosen by the Children’s Ministries. This mentor will be one of the most influential people for the Confirmand. Our prayer is that the Confirmand and his or her mentor will form a relationship that will last much longer than the Confirmation period.
