Rooted in Faith: Youth Confirmation Curriculum (PDF-only)

$100.00

“I am entering into this confirmation class feeling more confident and ready than any other year. I can't be more thankful for your curriculum as each session is succinct, accessible, not too wordy, and actually interesting!” - Rev. JB

Rooted in Faith is a progressive Christian confirmation curriculum designed for United Church of Christ (UCC) churches and other progressive Christian communities seeking a thoughtful, engaging confirmation program for youth.

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.

This curriculum pairs with the Rooted in Faith Confirmation Devotional, a companion resource designed for students to use throughout the week with scripture reflections, journaling prompts, and short devotionals that reinforce what they are learning in each session.
