The Curriculum
We useLifeTeen’s Purpose Confirmation Sacramental Preparation Program.
Purpose is a transformative approach to Confirmation.
The Purpose curriculum sessions focus on evangelizing young people and accompanying them as they become disciples. The curriculum addresses three big questions, “Why believe in God?”, “Why trust Jesus?” and “Why be a part of the Church?”
These sessions combine powerful teachings, videos small group discussions, activities and games to evangelize and disciple teens.
