United Methodists use the term "confirmation" to mark the first time a baptized Christian publicly "confirms" their intention to live the vows of the baptismal and membership covenant and so becomes a professing member of the local congregation and The United Methodist Church.
Confirmation is intended to help us explore Christian faith. In confirmation, most of us confirm the promise made by our parents when we were baptized, while some of us choose to be baptized into the faith for the first time. This is a time when we ask our youth to set aside some time and dedicate themselves to learning about the Christian faith, beliefs, the United Methodist Church and it’s history.
