Head to the Heart Confirmation
2026-2027

The Included 91 Themes and 11 Theme Sets

Download a Printable Theme Set LIST (PDF)

All 91 lessons and 11 theme sets below are included with your Head to the Heart annual membership and available from day one.

Head to the Heart includes a deep collection of resources for Lutheran confirmation, alongside Scripture and core Christian faith themes that can be used across denominations. From the Old and New Testaments to the Ten Commandments, Apostles’ Creed, Lord’s Prayer, Small Catechism, Lutheran theology, and the promises students affirm at confirmation, you’ll find the resources to build a program around what your students need.

No church can use all 91 lessons in a single year. That’s the point. Choose the themes that fit your program, your students, and your calendar. Use complete theme sets, combine lessons from several themes, or build a multi-year sequence. Lessons you don’t use for confirmation can also be used for retreats, camps, senior high ministry, adult education, and other settings.
