Confirmation

Confirmation is a season of exploring, deepening, and claiming faith. The word confirmation means “to make firm,” and this experience gives students the opportunity to build on what they have already learned while asking questions, growing in their understanding of the Christian faith, and discovering what it means to follow Jesus in the Wesleyan tradition.

Through classes, conversations with pastors and church leaders, retreats, worship, and mission opportunities, confirmands grow together in faith and community. At the conclusion of the Confirmation journey, students are invited to publicly profess their faith and become full members of Isle of Hope United Methodist Church.

Confirmation is open to students connected with the Isle of Hope congregation who are ready to explore their faith more deeply and consider making this commitment for themselves.

We offer Confirmation Classes for 8th grade students starting each fall. Stay tuned for information on the 2026-27 Confirmation Class.
