Confirm not Conform  is a Confirmation program that is serious about giving youth a voice. It is a multi-activity exploration program of faith for youth with parents, mentors, and the entire congregation. Rather than imparting information from the outside, Confirm not Conform explores the beliefs and questions that come from the teens themselves. The debate and discussion sparked by the participants ignite their faith into something lively and real. CnC takes the idealism and skepticism that coexist in young people and uses that energy to help youth become engaged with their faith and their community.Comprehensive, it includes promotional material, training guides, and class discussions — everything from the initial information night to the closing service. Sixteen sessions include topics from Scriptures to sacraments, world religions, historic creeds and current events. Also included is a Mentor/Parent handbook, video content to download with corresponding lessons, and access to online support services and resources. |
