The First Methodist Church in Coushatta is hosting a church wide confirmation class that starts next week on Wednesday August 27 at 5:30pm.

You do not have to be a member of the church or Methodist to attend.

“What is confirmation?” Confirmation is the means by which Christians are educated in the pillars of the Christian faith, thus “confirming” their faith in Jesus Christ. Whether you went through confirmation as a child and forgot much of what you learned, or you became a Christian as an adult and never had the chance to go through it, many of us are in need of a time to submerse ourselves in the foundations of the Christian faith that we so love.

This course will teach you what does and does not make a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, how to understand basic Christian teaching in your own life of faith, and how to distinguish Christianity against other faiths. Second, you will explore the Methodist/Wesleyan family of Christians and how Methodists have practiced discipleship to Jesus over the last three hundred years.

The confirmation class will take place over ten sessions. Beginning next Wednesday, August 27 with the final session on October 29. Sessions will last about an hour and fifteen minutes and will be discussion based.

All denominations are welcome to join in to see how Methodists fit into God’s whole family of believers. You will discover all denominations have much more in common than you previously thought, and that the few differences are covered in the grace of Jesus.

Unsure if you are a believer in Jesus? This is a great place for you to explore the foundations of Christian faith that unite all believers in a judgement-free, caring environment where questions are not only encouraged – they are expected.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, you are invited to join in the journey of encountering the historic faith of Christianity, and confirming (or reconfirming!) yourself as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
