A confirmation curriculum built for UCC churches

The app teaches the curriculum. Your church confirms the student.

Between sports, homework, and everything else, kids don’t have two hours for confirmation once a week—but they can give five to eight minutes a day. Five self-guided micro-lessons get them ready for Sunday, so your time together is discussion and relationship, not a crash course.

Sunday belongs to the church

Questions, worship, relationships, belonging.

Built for the people making confirmation happen

A complete curriculum that gives leaders more time for students.

01

The volunteer leader

You bring care, life experience, and a genuine commitment to young people—even if you are not a theologian. iConfirm gives you a complete, age-appropriate curriculum and a clear plan for each gathering, so you can focus on listening, encouraging questions, and building relationships with students.

02

The solo pastor

You know your congregation and understand how confirmation fits into the wider life of the church. iConfirm carries the weekly curriculum and student preparation, giving you more room to lead meaningful Sunday conversations and connect each lesson to worship, community, and faith.

03

The youth minister

You know how to create spaces where young people feel welcome, heard, and ready to participate. iConfirm provides the teaching structure and prepares students throughout the week, freeing your gathering time for discussion, connection, and the moments that help faith become personal.

Different roles. One shared purpose: helping students explore what they believe and discover where they belong.

Built for the student

Faith becomes personal when students have room to question, reflect, and participate.

Every lesson is written specifically for confirmation-age students, at a reading level that respects where they are without talking down to them. The language is clear, conversational, and grounded in situations young people recognize. Even the Bible translation used throughout the curriculum was chosen with readability and accessibility in mind.

  • Learn in short, manageable steps throughout the week
  • Explore Scripture and theology in clear, down-to-earth language
  • Ask honest questions without being graded on their faith
  • Save private reflections or choose what they want to share
  • See their progress and recognize how their beliefs develop
  • Connect faith with relationships, service, justice, worship, and everyday life

iConfirm does not tell students what they must believe. It gives them accessible materials, honest questions, room to reflect, and a church community in which they can explore faith for themselves.

Why five to eight minutes?

Short does not mean shallow.

The app is not replacing the weekly gathering. It is preparing students for it.

A ninety-minute confirmation gathering is rarely ninety minutes of direct instruction. It also includes welcoming students, sharing food, checking in, building relationships, transitioning between activities, asking questions, and having the conversations that make confirmation meaningful.

iConfirm distributes the teaching across the week. Five focused micro-lessons provide approximately 25–40 minutes of student preparation before Sunday. Students encounter one idea at a time, reflect on it, and arrive ready to participate.

Instead of using Sunday to deliver a large amount of new information all at once, leaders can use that time for discussion, questions, prayer, activities, relationships, and connecting the curriculum to the life of their church.

Less cramming. More preparation. Better conversation.

How it works

The app carries what it can. Your church carries what only it can.

Confirmation is not an online course that ends with a certificate. iConfirm prepares students for the relationships, worship, service, and discernment through which confirmation actually happens.

Flamo, the iConfirm guide

The app can help students learn what Christianity and the UCC teach. Only a church community can help them discover where they belong and what they believe.

For the leader

Walk into Sunday prepared—without building the lesson yourself.

Whether the same person leads every week or volunteers rotate, the Leader Portal gives each facilitator a clear, dependable guide for the conversation ahead.

Less scrambling. Fewer surprises. More attention for the students in the room.

Built around trust

Students need room to think before they are asked to share.

Confirmation invites personal questions about God, identity, doubt, belonging, and belief. iConfirm gives students meaningful control over what remains private and what they choose to share.

Parent-supported setup

For younger students, account creation begins with a parent or guardian so participation and access are clear from the beginning.

Private means private

A student’s private reflection is not automatically shown to parents, leaders, or other students.

Talk instead of type

Students can bring a sensitive question to a trusted adult instead of writing an answer. That still counts as participation.

‘I don’t know’ is honest

Doubt, uncertainty, and changing beliefs are part of the confirmation journey—not something to score away.

A record they can keep

Students can keep a personal record and see how their questions and beliefs developed during the year.

Honest formation—without turning a young person’s faith into a score.

A full year with room to breathe

Thirty curriculum weeks—without pretending holidays and Holy Week do not exist.

Breaks and church observances appear in the student Journey, so students know when to work, when to worship, and when there is simply no lesson.
