Our local youth pastors began working on a baccalaureate service for area high schools.I realized that our students wouldn't remember weeks afterwards who the keynote speaker was or what songs were sung. I felt that we needed to show them how much we cared by making our "gift" to the graduates really worth something. The ConGRADulations! Bible combo was awesome. Even students last year who didn't attend the service came looking for their gift days after the service. (Our Note: They did it again in 2009 -- for over 500 students!)

The music is great, but it’s the encouraging video clips, web links and an online Bible that make this a multimedia gift sure to mark the time and the hearts of high school seniors.

Our four month old church was tasked with planning the first ever baccalaureate service for a new high school. We linked up with The Crossing, Church of the Nazarene to give the grads a gift  that they would use. I knew that the ConGRADulations CD/DVD had great music, student video stories, and a link to thekristo.com (a Gospel presentation). It’s the perfect gift.

Our school allowed Club 121 students to distribute ConGRADulations! to every graduate following the ceremonies while graduates were picking up their diplomas. This provided opportunities to hand ConGRADulations! to parents and siblings of graduates, and even to school administrators and teachers.

ConGRADulations has been a part of my youth ministry since 1990! It is the most talked about and used graduate gift ever with a positive impact for Christ. It presents the hope of Christ in a dynamic and unique way that touches teenagers where they live.
—Dan W. Lay, Jr., Minister to High School Students, FBC-Clarksville, TN

The ConGRADulations! CD has been a great inexpensive way to encourage and remind our college-bound students about their relationship with God. We have even introduced God and Christian music to some who aren't connected to the church.

ConGRADulations! has planted many seeds and an opportunity for the Gospel to reside in (my grads') music collections.

A local church, Christian-owned businesses, individual donors, the campus ministry of Club 121 and inter'linc came together last year to provide a customized version of ConGRADulations! for Science Hill High School. A graduate of SHHS, and member of the participating church, was filmed and used to replace one of the student videos.
—Haley Wherry, First Priority (formerly Ground Zero)

We gave ConGRADulations! to our graduates at our annual senior recognition service. One grad had not attended church in several years, but participated (at the insistence of his parents) in the service. Weeks later I received a note from his parents and a call from the graduate. He had been deeply moved by one of the songs and wanted to renew his commitment to God.
—David, YouthWorker, Austin, TX

With the help of community businessmen, the local youth network and interlinc we were able to give each of our 590 graduating seniors at Snohomish High School a really great gift. The response was very positive and I heard more than one student say 'We get music for graduation? That's tight!'
—Jess Champers - Youth Pastor, Free Methodist Church, Snohomish, WA

The ConGRADulations Project is by far the best evangelism tool I've seen to give highschoolers as they leave the campus and enter into the adult world. I'm impressed with the depth of the interactive material. My students love it!
