Cathechism Course

The Catechism Course

The Catechism Course is an exploration of the Christian faith using the Lord’s Prayer, Apostles Creed, and Ten Commandments as our primary guide. We also cover the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper and our understanding of Scripture. This small group is a deep dive into the basics of Christian belief and practice, geared towards both someone exploring Christianity and the seasoned believer.

For those considering membership or confirmation, this small group is required, but is open to anyone. The Catechism Course runs twice a year in a small group format. Childcare is provided.
