Confirmation curriculum used is: Faith Inkubators materials “Head to Heart”. This program allows students to experience the basic Bible theme at church, discussing it within a small group of friends, and then bring it home where the real faith incubation happens every night. “Head to Heart” provides over 90 lessons of engaging, brain-based teaching material including object lessons, art, music, game shows, skits, Power Point presentation, beautiful home journals, and more while wrapping it all in a small-group system that surrounds kids with a whole lot of love and care. It is this system that brings life to what has traditionally been one of the most challenging ministries of the church, and equips parents to be active participants in the faith lives of their children. The content and the theology crucial to faith formation is taught in engaging and multi-sensory ways designed to make the content stick.
