Sunday School classes are driven by our mission to help youth build a relationship with Jesus Christ that lasts beyond high school. With scripture as our foundation, classes are designed to help youth learn and apply Biblical truths to their daily lives.

We aim to make the experience relevant, where tough questions and expressions of honest doubt can be shared and faced together. Thee are classes are offered for 6th–7th graders, 8th graders, and for 9th-12th graders.

We aim to create a space where youth feel comfortable bringing friends. We learn about God in a nurturing, fun environment with activities like capture the flag, bowling, rock climbing, hide and seek, swimming, and more.

Being confirmed into the church means that a youth or adult is making the decision to proclaim Christ as their Savior and is choosing to become a full member.

To prepare for this important life event, the Confirmation Class meets weekly from January through May for dinner and conversation before youth group on Friday nights and again during the Sunday school hour to learn primarily about our Christian faith, and also the Church sacraments, history, organization, and teachings of the United Methodist Church.
