Affirming Faith: A Congregations' Guide to Confirmation, Revised & Updated is a confirmation resource for use by United Church of Christ congregations. Focusing on the UNited Church of Christ Statement of Faith, it relates to Affirming Faith: A Confirmand's Journal, Revised & Updated. Designed for those planning, leading, and participating in a local church's program of faith formation for youth ages twelve to sixteen, the guide includes session and retreat designs with detailed instructions for leading ninety-minute experiences, as well as suggestions for additional activities. A unique feature, "Connecting with the Congregation", offers ways in which the confirmands can be involved more fully in the life of the congregation as they go through the faith-forming process. The Bible is an integral part of the Affirming Faith guide. Particular passages of scripture have been selected for each session, but the emphasis is on encounter with scripture rather than knowledge about scripture. The goal of this resource is life transformed through continuing exposure to the Word of God. (Back cover).

Send Out Your Spirit leads teens through the major tenets of their faith—the Trinity, Jesus, scripture, Church, sacraments, morality, and more—specifically structured for the context of preparing for confirmation. This program is rooted in the idea that high school-aged candidates want the necessary information on the Catholic faith in hand as they commit personally to the promises of faith originally made for them at baptism and reaffirmed in confirmation. The confirmation Candidate's Handbook was found in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
