They’ll learn what questions to ask, points they can agree on, ways to avoid hostility, and most important Bible lessons non-Christians need to know.

Youth will take an honest look at the holy mystery and the complexity of Scripture while exploring the richness of Methodist history and doctrine to prepare them for the next step in their faith - Confirmation
