Confirmation — Coming Spring 2026
Every other year, our youth participate in the confirmation process. It is a series of classes and excursions which culminate in the youth becoming official members of the church. Confirmation is open to all youth 6th grade and older.
-
Confirmation marks the time when a baptized Christian becomes a professing member of the local congregation and The United Methodist Church. (If a student has not been baptized, we can work with Rev. Janet to ensure that they are on or before Confirmation Sunday)
Confirmation next will be held in the spring of 2026. Please contact student ministries coordinator Angela Pupino at apupino@nationalchurch.org if you are interested in confirmation for your youth.
Congrats to NUMC’s 2024 Confirmands!
