Encounter: The Bible Timeline for Middle School
Encounter is a Catholic Bible study designed specifically for grades 6 to 8. Using the color-coded Bible Timeline Learning System, each session of Encounter reveals the story of our faith and God’s plan for our lives. This captivating program guides students toward a powerful encounter with God.
This program is much more than your average Bible study program. It is a life-changing experience that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of middle school-aged kids. As your students are drawn into this story, they will come to a new and profound understanding of who God is. Most importantly, they will come to know God not as a distant doctrinal concept, but as a loving Father who desires a meaningful and lasting encounter with them
Theology of the Body
Middle schoolers today are constantly asking questions about who they are, who they should be, and where true success and happiness can be found. Countless sources—including pop culture, social media, and their peers—are ready to provide them answers.
Amidst all the confusion, St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body offers clear answers about our identity, relationships, and sexuality—and Envision makes this timeless wisdom accessible and relatable to middle school students.
Confirmation Preparation
Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation has been used by thousands of parishes to present the Catholic Faith to teens in a way that keeps their attention as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Filmed in over fifty locations in the United States and around the world, Chosen features fourteen of the top youth experts in the Church today.
Also available in Spanish
Faith Formation
Chosen has been produced in two formats, this Teen Faith Formation edition (Chosen: This Is Your Catholic Faith) and a Confirmation Edition (Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation). Both use the same twenty-four lessons and only differ in how Confirmation preparation is emphasized and highlighted in the Confirmation edition.
Chosen: This is Your Catholic Faith takes young people on a journey through the entire Catholic faith in all its richness and vitality. Teens will be captivated by the story, from Creation all the way through salvation history, and they will come to see how the sacraments, prayer, and discipleship are the keys to a happy life. The goal of this 24-lesson program is nothing short of winning over the hearts of teens and making them disciples of Christ.
