Impact Youth Ministry is here to provide an open, engaging and uplifting environment for our communities middle and high school students to explore and grow in their faith.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES

9:50am

Pre Confirmation, 6th Grade

This is a full year of pre-confirmation class. Focusing on the UMC and John Wesley life. The 6th Grade Class is taught by Will Powers and Dave Prosser.

7th & 8th Grade Confirmation

Taught in the beginning of the year until Pentecost. Confirmation focuses on leading the youth to take ownership of their faith and to make a decision to respond to God’s grace. To understand that God claims us, but we are invited to say “yes” to God’s claim. Each year on Pentecost the Confirmands become members of the church, reaffirm baptismal vows, or are baptized.

9th - 12th Grade

During the fall semester the High School class will be going through the old testament with the Fathom Series.

Taught by rotating pairs of leaders through out the year.
