Confirmation for Youth
DURING LENT 2027
In the United Methodist Church, Confirmation is an important step when baptized students publicly affirm their faith, embrace their baptismal vows, and become professing members of the church.
At WMSUMC, Confirmation is an 8-week journey of learning, conversation, and spiritual growth offered each year. Our next class begins during Lent 2027, with Confirmation celebrated during the Easter season. For more information or questions, contact Paul Collins at info@westmarketchurch.org.
