The Catechism is a vital part of our heritage.

Lord of Life Lutheran Church

Know Christ, Grow in Christ, and Go as Christ Into the World.

The Catechism is a vital part of our heritage as Lutherans and Christians. In order for our young people to be well rounded in their faith, the Catechism should be studied and memorized from the beginning of Church School. This program is endorsed by the Team of Education of the Church Council. Children should memorize and understand (to the best of their ability) the appropriate material by the end of the Church School year. Catechism material should be taken from Luther’s Small Catechism. Copies are available from the office, and handouts with assignments will be distributed to every member of each class.

 

The following chart is a schedule of Bible stories and memory work that will be focused on at each Church School class level. (Please note: Memory work listed for the 3 and 4 year olds are very simple Bible verses which will be said together in the classroom. We hope they will have fun accomplishing this task together!)
