Confirmation 2024/2025
Your Faith. Your Commitment. God’s Call.
Confirmation as more than a decision. Instead, it is the beginning of a conversation about what it means to be a Christian, living out your faith, your commitment, and God’s call. Beginning this September (2024) students in grades 6-12 will be invited to engage their own faith as they decide for themselves how best they might claim and live into their faith as members of Salem United Methodist Church.
Is Confirmation Right for you?
Confirmation class is a 30 week journey from September to May and will be held during our normal UMYF time on Sunday Evenings from 5:00-6:30. Students who wish to be confirmed in June of 2025 will be required to participate in at least 20 of those 30 sessions listed on the schedule below.
For any additional information or questions please contact Pastor Jim
