Explore questions specific to their faith tradition
Focus on four key questions central to youth’s faith tradition—helping them gain a deeper understanding of their tradition’s history and why it matters today.
re:form Traditions
Denomination-specific history and theological framework that speak to youth
Why choose re:form Traditions?
-
-
Encourage hands-on learning
Use the re:form Traditions Anti-Workbook, offered for Lutheran, Methodist, and Reformed, to give youth a chance to interact through doodling, journaling, and illustrating to help them build faith.
-
Use it to fit your context
Affirm and strengthen faith in whatever context makes sense for your youth and your program—whether it’s confirmation, youth group retreats, or even new member courses.
-
Make it easy for your leaders
Prepare your leaders with re:form’s leader guides, which make preparation easy, no matter their experience level.
How it works
Each re:form session follows a three-part sequence:
- Encounter – Gather your youth together to watch a hilarious animated video (we promise it’ll make them laugh!)
- Engage – Tap into their creativity for activities like doodling, constructing, and journaling that help them dig deeper into their faith
- Respond – Share thoughts and ideas about the session’s question
“Through the humor of re:form, my youth learned about the serious parts of the Bible and our tradition. The fact that it didn’t always give answers led to some of the best discussions we’ve had!”
