Youth Formation Launches This September
On Sunday, September 6, our Youth Formation class (ages 10–13) begins the next stage of our ongoing catechesis during the Sunday School hour (9:00–9:55am).
Following last spring’s “Foundations” course, students will spend this fall exploring “Beginning with Christ” and “Believing in Christ,” the first two movements of To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism. This 15-week catechesis journey is part of a broader formation journey that will continue in future semesters with “Belonging to Christ” and “Becoming Like Christ.”
This fall’s study will help students discover the heart of the Christian faith through Scripture, To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism, prayer, discussion, artwork, memory work, and engaging classroom activities.
Together we will explore questions such as:
What’s wrong with the world—and with us?
What is the Gospel?
Why do we need Jesus?
What do Christians believe?
Who is God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?
Why did Jesus die and rise again?
Our goal is not simply to teach information but to help young people grow as disciples of Jesus Christ within the worshiping life of his church.
Youth catechesis will prepare students to make a mature public profession of faith in Confirmation while forming them into lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ who believe the Gospel, participate in the life of the church, pursue holiness, and join Christ’s work in the world.
If your child will be 10–13 years old this fall, we warmly invite them to join us Sundays, September 6–December 13, 9:00–9:55am in the Parish Hall.
