Confirmation

Affirm your faith in Jesus Christ.

Confirmation 2024

What is 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.

Confirmation is a year long faith journey. Each week, confirmands meet weekly during the 9:45 a.m. Sunday School hour in the RESET Student Space. Students are encouraged to examine their own thoughts on faith and God as a young adult. On Sunday, May 18, 2025, they have the opportunity to be confirmed in their faith and become full members of the church.

Need to sign up for confirmation? It’s not too late.  Each confirmation student will get a Confirm Tote Bag which includes a Confirm Study Bible, Confirm Journal, and class t-shirt (provided at Spring Retreat.) Cost: $75.

At Asbury UMC, Confirmation is a Milestone, a special event designed to support sixth graders (as well as seventh and eighth graders) where they are and help parents navigate the teenage years.
