Lake Shore United Methodist Church

Sunday, 6:30 P.M. – 8:00 P.M.

Youth Confirmation is offered to preteens and young teens at Lake

Shore United Methodist Church. Confirmation is an opportunity

for those who participate “to learn about and reflect on the basic

beliefs of Christianity, to learn about the beliefs and policies

specific to The United Methodist Church, and to make a decision

for professing faith in Jesus Christ.” (Norton p.23) We are using a

curriculum entitled “Claim The Name” which will enable our

youth to experience God and to help youth make commitments to

become disciples of Jesus Christ.

Youth Confirmation is a partnership between the Confirmand

and the Congregation. Mature Christians from Lake Shore serve

as mentors while the people of Lake Shore hold the Confirmands

and the Mentors in their daily prayers.

Confirmation is a 20-week ministry lead by Rev. Nancy that

will include intense learning and reflection, mission projects,

exposure to other faith communities, and service to the church.

The Confirmation experience will culminate at a retreat with other

youth from our compass group on the North Coast District.
