YOUTH
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
|
|
God has invited us to live an
adventurous life with him. A life of discovery, joy, and wonder
where our faith affects the way we live. Our youth spend time
together, learn to navigate the Bible, get to know God through their
studies, and gain a better understanding of how God is leading us on
an adventure. Best of all, our youth have a great time while
expanding their relationship with God in a fun setting.

YOUTH BAPTISM
-
Baptism has a two-fold symbol. With children, the primary
symbol is that God loves us before we are able to respond. The
parents make the vows, as does the church. The baptized child will
join the church later and make his/her own commitment to Christ at that
time. When someone receives baptism as a youth or adult, that person
takes the vows for him or herself. Baptism again becomes a sign of God’s
love reaching us, only this time, we respond for ourselves. We
understand God’s love for us while admitting that we are sinners. Water
symbolizes that we are “washed” or “cleansed” from our sin. Click

CONFIRMATION CLASSES -
In Baptism, we recognize God's claim on our
lives. In Confirmation, students have an opportunity to claim
the relationship God freely offers for them. Confirmation is a class for students seventh grade
and up, who are interested in becoming a member of the church. These
classes teach students the important aspects of one's faith: baptism,
Holy Communion, Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the history of the
Christian church, and the history of the United Methodist Church.
