Confirmation

---

United Methodists use the term "confirmation" to mark the first time a baptized Christian publicly "confirms" their intention to live the vows of the baptismal and membership covenant, and so becomes a professing member of the local congregation and The United Methodist Church.

The confirmation class here at GSUMC is a year-long program that begins in the fall and concludes with Confirmation Sunday, typically observed on Pentecost Sunday in May. The class consists of students around the ages of 13 and 14 who were baptized as infants or who seek to be baptized and confirmed simultaneously
