As young people begin to explore faith, we here at First Methodist Church want to offer a path of support and encouragement, teaching and practicing faith, all leading to a personal decision to entrust their life to Jesus and begin to walk as his disciple day by day.
Confirmation has classically been a group process for youth 10-14 years of age. We are embracing a new path – fully individualized as a youth is ready and genuinely interested in exploring faith. Each youth will be paired with an adult mentor from our congregation who will meet regularly to listen and talk over questions of faith. Teaching sessions will be provided by the pastors both in print and by video. Activities of worship, service, and discipleship will be offered. Parent conversations will be integrated into the process.
This is a year-round opportunity. It begins and ends according to the youth’s interest, participation, and decision. When they are ready, baptism (if needed) and profession of faith will be scheduled in a worship service.
Interested in knowing more so you can share with your son or daughter and gauge their interest? Contact, Pastor Powell or Pastor Sarah at church (252-726-7102).

Mentors
Sunday, October 15th @ 6:30pm
We need confirmation mentors! We have changed the format of our confirmation program to help our youth develop a deeper faith in Jesus Christ. Youth and their mentors meet together and work through the curriculum together at their own pace. All materials are provided. We have youth who are on our waitlist to get a mentor and we would love to get them paired! If you have any questions, please reach out to one of our pastors.
