The Starter Pack provides all five resources a leader needs for the Chosen experience! It contains one DVD Set, one Leader's Guide, one Student Workbook, one Sponsor's Guide, and one Parent's Guide.
Chosen’s carefully designed methodology features highly effective and engaging material conveyed through videos, student workbooks, and classroom experience.

Both use the same twenty four lessons and only differ in how Confirmation preparation is emphasized and highlighted in the Confirmation edition.
