Head to the Heart Confirmation

2024-2025 Membership Year

Head to the Heart Confirmation:
You don’t need a better workbook, you need a better way.

Head to the Heart™ (H2H) is an integrated approach to confirmation ministry. More than a program or curriculum, H2H intersects the head (knowing God’s promised story) and the heart (living God’s story). This intersection is the very center of our baptismal promise.

The H2H faith formation system weaves in critical thinking, a system of care, and creative faith practices while growing connections in Christian community.

The Head to the Heart Confirmation system includes:

• A culture of deep student connection and care created in small peer groups led by trained, committed adult Guides

• A comprehensive menu of relevant teaching options, allowing you to pick and choose what works best in your unique setting

• Learning elements based on adolescent brain development research, including object lessons that teach, engaging PowerPoint visuals, art, music, skits, and game shows

• Service, community-building, and learning events built into the confirmation schedule

• An authentic relational/experiential model for adolescent faith formation

• With Head to the Heart, young people experience meaningful action/reflection, empowering them to live what they learn and stay engaged long after they are confirmed!

Your Annual Head to the Heart Confirmation Membership

Your annual H2H membership gives you access to all 100+ PowerPoint-based lessons for one membership year.

While the membership year officially runs from September 1 through August 31 of the following year, H2H resources are released each Spring, giving you the summer months for planning.

The membership license for our current release, Head to the Heart 2024-2025, expires on August 31, 2025.

Your annual Head to the Heart (H2H) membership gives you:

• Access to all 100+ themes categorized into nine 10-lesson theme sets, one 5-lesson theme set and two supplemental theme sets.
  Of course, no church can use all the lessons in a year. Choose which you’ll use for confirmation and then you are free to use others for retreats, camps, Sr. High ministry, or even adult education or worship.

• “Confirmation Promises” — A five-lesson Confirmation Capstone themeset.
  Are you looking for a way to connect the ministry of confirmation to the Rite of Confirmation worship? Faith Inkubators has created a 5-lesson set that engages your students in the living, engaging expressions of the five baptismal promises. These capstone lessons provides a practical, outward understanding of what it means to live a life of faith outside the “classroom” and in the world. This theme set can be used on its own as a part of your confirmation scope and sequence, in a retreat setting, or at summer camp. You can also combine the five lessons with other Faith Inkubators offerings like Baptism lessons and Confession/Confirmation/Call to provide a robust 10-lesson set.

• “QuickPicks” — Are you in a in a time crunch this week? We’ve collected our favorite teaching options from each lesson—we call them QuickPicks—and have assembled them for you in this “grab-and-go” format. An accompanying QuickPicks PowerPoint file that matches these suggestions is also available for each lesson.

• Instant digital delivery of the 100+ themes.

• Support materials for recruiting and training your confirmation leaders and casting the H2H vision to your congregation.

• Support for pastors, staff and lay leaders to become better educators, leader developers, and community builders.

Each H2H lesson includes:

• Pre-built Customizable PowerPoint Presentations containing karaoke music videos, fun interactive learning quiz shows, theme scripture verse, cartoons, imaginative prayer journeys, along with many other teaching options and ideas.

• Printable Leader’s Guide with teaching ideas, instructions and tips for leading the lesson’s PowerPoint presentation.

• Printable Handouts for youth, small group Guides, and parents. Print as many copies as you need. Email the handouts in advance. You no longer need to replace lost workbooks!

• Engaging and fun skits to help teach the theme and involve students and parents.

• Printable sheet music for the theme Scripture song, providing a live option to the karaoke style music video in the PowerPoint

Head to the Heart™ is the best, most integrative, and time-tested adolescent faith-formation resource for achieving the goal of empowering young people to authentically live out their baptismal promises for the sake of the world.

Annual Membership Pricing

Annual membership pricing is set according to your church’s verified average weekly worship attendance (AWWA).

With in-person attendance numbers being affected by Covid in recent years, denomination headquarters have been requesting that churches report verified attendance both on-site (in-person attendance at worship) and online (attendance via streaming or by watching or downloading posted videos). Faith Inkubators considers AWWA a combination of both in-person and on-line attendance.

You can find more Head to the Heart™ resources using the Confirmation menu at the top of this page.
