  Catechism Classes:

Youth Catechesis (Confirmation) – Class is on Sundays after service and a short break to eat lunch and typically follows the school year.  Youth attend for two years, one year focusing primarily upon the Small Catechism and the other upon major Biblical and theological aspects of the Church.

Adult Catechesis (Confirmation) –  This class is intended for all those new to the Christianity, who wish to become members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, or simply those who want a refresher course in the basics of the Christian faith. Catechesis is focused on learning  and strengthening the faith of the catechumen the 6 chief parts of Luther’s Small Catechism, including: The 10 Commandments, The Creed, The Lord’s Prayer, Baptism, Confession, Communion.  This can be arranged. Currently, we are having these classes on Mondays at 6:00 pm in Luther Hall.

Confirmation is a custom linking the catechumen (a Greek word referring to one who is receiving Christian instruction in preparation for Baptism and/or Communion to become a member in the Church) to their Baptism, celebrating the reception of the Lord's Word among them, and welcoming them to the Lord's Supper. The reception of catechumens to the Lord's Table assumes that ongoing catechesis is the way of life for the faithful Christian.  

Our Adult Catechesis or Foundation of Faith class is currently studying the book, "Afraid: Demon Possession and Spiritual Warfare in America" by Robert H. Bennett.  You may also join the class by zoom link. Email the office to receive the link and there will be a recording made of the class and shared as well.
