DECISION POINT Leader Guide

Leading a Confirmation class can be overwhelming. Teens can be daunting. But never forget that this is one of the most important things you will do in your life. These young people are hungry to make sense of life—and nothing does that like the Gospel.

Our goal at Dynamic Catholic is to help you use DECISION POINT in the most powerful way possible to transform the lives of the youth in your parish. We put together this easy-to-use Leader Guide to serve as an incredible resource to help you in this goal. This robust and illustrated Leader Guide outlines the entire program and includes timing suggestions, discussion questions, and recommendations for how to structure your program in the most effective and engaging way possible.

Additionally, every section has a little tip. We know you are busy, so these tips are usually just a sentence or two and it will take you less than 30 minutes to read through all of them. Even though they are short, these tips will give you a really good sense of how to engage these young Catholics in a dynamic experience. It will give you confidence. It will help you enjoy the process… and the more you enjoy it, the more they will enjoy it! You are offering them something beautiful. They need to hear something beautiful, to experience something beautiful. There is so much trash out there and they are encountering it every day.

Whatever role you play in preparing young Catholics for Confirmation, we realize it may be a thankless job—so we want to thank you. Thank you for all you are doing for the Church. It is our hope and prayer that this program will help make your experience with today’s Catholic teens infinitely more fulfilling for you and for them.

There is a moment in each person’s life when our eyes get wide and begin to sparkle. At Dynamic Catholic we call that the “I get it now” moment. We hope that our efforts combined with your dedication will produce more “I get it now” moments for Catholic teens.

You are about to change these young people’s lives. Don’t lose sight of that. We hope this Leader Guide can help you in this noble mission.
