As the child matures, certain practical concepts with respect to the application of the doctrine becomes introduced. These programmes are often supplemented by outdoor activities to foster the relational aspects between teachers, children and peers alike.
For older children religious instruction classes are presented to supplement their understanding and capacity for life as well as secure their choice for the Lord.
Specific aspects such as prayer, respect, attitude, responsibility, decision-making and the understanding of life after death etc. are also discussed.
For the teenage child, the program of religious instruction is replaced by confirmation classes. This phase of development culminates when the teenager enters adult Christian life through the making of a public vow to God on his/her day of Confirmation.
