About

Want to learn more about the church as a youth or adult connected to the ELCA?
Do you feel like you don't know what questions to ask?
Does the church seem to be saying a bunch of new stuff that makes you uncomfortable?
​Are you surrounded by people who were Lutheran in the cradle,
and they keep using words you don't understand?
This book can help you explore your faith and your faith community,
​at your own pace and with plenty of time to think (and pray!) things over.

Looking for a confirmation curriculum that focuses on discussion and Bible study, but isn't stuck in the past? Hoping to explore the deeper topics of how faith comes up in our daily decisions
with students entering adulthood, rather than running a program that oversimplifies everything
​and glosses over the hard stuff?
This 38 lesson curriculum can form an instant 2 year program!
​Includes lessons on the Small Catechism, church history, worship and the church calendar,
​faith life, how the ELCA works, and several special topics.

Confirmation:

A low-tech, simple curriculum designed for congregations that want to focus on discussion of real life and in-depth Bible study,
rather than spend their time fighting with technology
and getting the sound to work for the PowerPoint.
As long as each student and leader has a copy of Grace Alone, an Augsburg Fortress Lutheran Study Bible, and a copy of the Small Catechism, everybody is set to go!
This is an affordable program for any congregation!
I have 2 nightmares when it comes to Confirmation. 
First, a curriculum that treats the students as though they are still small children, when Confirmation is supposed to be about becoming an adult member of the church.
Second, a curriculum that treats faith and the church as something that can be relegated to Sunday mornings and has no relevance to our everyday lives and decisions.
​The goals of this curriculum are to introduce the students to the hard questions and deeper nuances of faith beyond Sunday School, and to show them that their faith will constantly impact their everyday lives in deep and important ways.
