Programs
CONFIRMATION
6th Grade
Confirmation is a time of spiritual growth in which 6th grade students explore the foundations of the Christian faith with their peers and mentors. Throughout their confirmation journey, students will begin to see what faith means to them and what it means to be a confirmed member of First Methodist Mansfield. Confirmation meets for 10 sessions during the spring semester and concludes with a retreat at Glen Lake Camp and a Confirmation Service. At the Confirmation Service, students affirm their response to God’s grace and proclaim faith in Christ and their baptismal covenant.

CONNECT students with God and with their peers. SERVE those within our ministry, congregation and community and LEAD through different avenues of Students Ministries and First Methodist Mansfield. We accomplish these goals by combining deep Christ-centered discussions with hands-on activities that help develop important life skills.
