Rooted in Faith: Youth Confirmation Curriculum

$100.00

This is not your typical confirmation curriculum. For too long, confirmation has focused on memorizing Bible verses and testing knowledge. But faith is so much more than that: it’s something we live, practice, and embody.

This curriculum invites youth into a dynamic, experience-based faith and learning journey. Each session encourages curiosity, meaningful questions, and real-life engagement with their faith. Through spiritual practices, open discussions, and activities, students will be invited to encounter God, discover the heart of Jesus’ teachings, and pay attention to how the Spirit is moving in and around them.

Over ten weeks, students will learn about an ancient faith tradition that is still meaningful thousands of years after it first began. They will come to know a God who loves and cares about them unconditionally, and see how their faith can help shape their everyday life.

By the end of the curriculum, our hope is that each young person will leave with a deeper sense of God’s abundant love—and a growing, rooted faith that connects them more fully to God, their neighbors, and themselves.

Coming Soon:

  • Mini Devotionals for students

  • A podcast series of 20-25min episodes that relate to each session
