How Online Confirmation Lessons Will Work

 Friends in Christ,


We are excited and nervous about this online learning journey together. We welcome your feedback- about what you enjoy and what is challenging.

Each lesson will be housed here in this Blog. The blog will have a page for each lesson, including a video, discussion questions, and a link to the reporting form.

We know that online learning will not take as long as our in person classes. The video lessons by the Pastors will be no more than 10-15 minutes. We anticipate you will need to spend about 30 minutes total for each online lesson session.


Each lesson will be divided into sections.

Intro will help you get involved in the story of the day. The intro may have a discussion question, a Bible verse to read, or a section to read from the Manna and Mercy book.

Video Lesson will be by the pastors. We will use the videos to teach about the lesson in a fun, engaging way. 

Discussion Questions will be on the blog page. Students are asked to answer the discussion questions with a parent, sibling, fellow confirmation student, their mentor, or another relative. The introverts among you are welcome to write them out as journal entries. But we expect actual thought and engagement.

Report. After each lesson you will fill out a form to report that you completed the lesson. The report will have you summarize the lesson, share something you learned, and ask any questions. The report is the way we know you are doing your lessons. The Pastors will keep track and follow up if we see you've missed something.


For students doing hybrid lessons, there will be one online lesson every other week. Here are the lessons, including links to the entry for the lesson, if available:

-Beginnings 

-We Want a King


Your pastors are excited to join you in this journey through the Bible as we learn about God's love for us!
