Lutheran Yes! consists of four 10-session units: Lutheran Worship, Lutheran Theology, The Ten Commandments, and Baptismal Affirmations.
Lutheran Yes! is a student-centered confirmation curriculum that invites young people, leaders, and families into God’s ongoing YES through curiosity, creativity, and connection.
Rooted in Lutheran identity and designed with Gen Alpha in mind, it gives students real choices, real agency, and real ways to discover how faith takes shape in their lives.
Lutheran Yes! helps students grow into the baptismal promises they’ll affirm: to worship with God’s people, hear and share God’s story, and work for justice and peace.
No-screen approach: Instead of watching lesson videos, students engage with leaders, peers, and tools like the Student Quest Book, Connection Deck, and hands-on materials. Each session is intentionally designed to spark curiosity and build real relationships.
Connection comes first: Every session begins and ends with structured connection time that helps students feel seen, safe, and valued. Gen Alpha wants to belong before they participate—this curriculum makes that happen.
Student Led: Each session’s Quests give students meaningful choices about how they’ll explore the topic. Choice builds ownership, confidence, and engagement—especially for middle school learners.
For any church size: Whether you have three students and one leader or many small groups, Lutheran Yes! adapts easily to your ministry context.
At-Home connection: The Small Catechism app extends learning into daily life, connecting families to what students explore in sessions.
