Chesterton United Methodist Church: Where people find new life in Christ!

Youth/Teens
The Chesterton United Methodist NET Youth Ministry seeks to be an open and friendly environment where all youth in 5th to 12th grades are accepted and welcomed. NET stands for "New Experiences Together" explored through fellowship, worship, study and service. We seek to develop disciples of Jesus Christ and instill in each youth the importance of their relationship with Christ and His Church.

Upper Senior High - Red Bird Mission, KY 7/04 - 7/10/2010

Confirmation Class

Beginning in September all 7th graders or any youth who has not been confirmed can attend Confirmation classes on Wednesday nights. During this time we will study Youth Alpha, basic United Methodist beliefs and history, seasons of the church year, Biblical principles and concepts and the meaning of Confirmation.

Each participant is on a journey. The journey does not end when he or she decides to join the church, but continues throughout their lives as they grow and develop in the faith. Confirmation literally means "with firmness" and is the student's opportunity to make firm the decision that was made for them at their baptism. Each youth makes the personal decision of joining Christ's Church and claiming God's gift of Jesus Christ for themselves. Confirmation is not the end of the process, but is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to Jesus Christ and His Church.
