Confirmation

What Is Confirmation?

  1. Confirmation is a special time to learn about and experience what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.
  2. Beginning in August, every Sunday, sixth graders and their leaders meet during the 9:40 am Sunday school hour and discuss the Bible, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, worship traditions, the United Methodist Church, your Christian roots, and more.
  3. Discover how to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ through participation in Sunday School, retreats, mission projects, field trips, worship experiences, and through the friendships you make during the year.
  4. In May sixth graders will have the opportunity to join First UMC- Denton as a full member
