Confirmation Classes

Church membership is a commitment to the ministry and mission of Jesus Christ.



Young men and women (i.e., late elementary or middle school ages) are invited to participate in a 3-month spirtual formation experience led by both clergy and lay persons.



The Ritual of Confirmation takes place on Pentecost Sunday (i.e., the 50th day after Easter Sunday) and is the entrance of the young believers into full membership in the church.



Please contact our Senior Minister, Andrew Brown, at 704-332-8131 ext 12 or abrown@hlumc.org for more details.

Disciple Bible Studies

The Bible reveals the Word of God.



Disciple Bible Study is an opportunity to commit yourself to the long-term study of the Bible. The Word of God comes alive as small groups of 8-12 people covenant to pray, study and discuss the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.



Signups are typically in the early fall of each year.



Contact Senior Pastor, Andrew Brown, for more information at 704-332-8131 ext 12 of abrown@hlumc.org
