What is Confirmation?

Confirmation refers to the decision a person makes to respond to God's grace
with intentional commitment, publicly reaffirming his or her baptismal vows
before the congregation. Most confirmands are youth between the ages of eleven
and fourteen, who have been nurtured in the church since their baptism as an
infant or young child. Most churches offer a deliberate time of preparation
before this service. During confirmation class, confirmands learn about the
meaning of Christian faith; the history and teachings and The United Methodist
Church; and an explanation of the baptismal and membership vows they will be
professing.
