Confirmation

Picture
Confirmation at Buffalo UMC includes students in grades 7 and 8 in a program providing Christian education, fellowship, faith building, and mentoring with adult faith partners. Parents provide a pivotal support role not only for their own students, but for the entire ministry by encouraging and shepherding their students through this two year journey of learning and faith formation.  Parents also participate by providing snacks, helping cook to a meal, chaperoning a retreat or mission event, or providing transportation.

7th and 8th graders gather every Wednesday from September through May from 6:00-7:30 pm.  Wednesday nights include three different formats. Focus Nights involve focused learning about the Old and New Testaments of the Bible in small and large groups. Combined Nights include hands-on mission projects, fun, and faith building with the Senior High students. Faith Nights begin with supper with the adult faith partners and then learning about the United Methodist Church. Confirmation also includes some in-depth lessons involving the meaning and stories behind contemporary Christian songs. Students are expected to attend worship and Sunday School, as well as annual retreats. Assignments include taking regular worship notes and participating in mission/service projects throughout each year.

Please call the church or see below for a registration packet if you know of a student who may be interested in our program. Students beyond 8th grade who are new to the community  are invited to join our senior high youth ministry.

At the bottom of this page, to the right you will find a link to the Breeze database for our church. The "Events" calendar will high light all Confirmation activities in the color orange.
