The Catechumenate
From the earliest days of the Christian Church, the catechumenate has served as the process for initiating the Christian life and reception into the fellowship of the Church through Baptism, Confirmation, and participation in the Eucharist (Lord’s Supper).
Catechumens spend time studying and reflecting on the Catechism, which is a brief summary of what the Bible teaches concerning God’s will for our lives (Ten Commandments), God’s work on our behalf (Apostles’ Creed), prayer (Lord’s Prayer), God’s sacramental encounter with us (Holy Baptism, Confession, the Sacrament of the Altar), and the shape of the Christian life.
At Our Savior, the Catechumenate will focus on what we do in the liturgy of the Divine Service and why, knowing that it is through the public worship of the church that we are taught and confess the faith.
The Catechumenate meets on Sundays at 4:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall. Recordings of the class will be uploaded to this page and the church's podcast every week.
