Catechism
Morning Catechism
What is a catechism? A catechism is simply a form of teaching that uses questions and answers. This form of teaching has been used in the church for hundreds of years to summarize Christian belief and practice. They are used for instruction, memorization, to teach doctrine, and as a devotional tool in the life of a believer. At the Morning Catechism Service we gather at 9:00 am and read scripture, go through a children’s and adult catechism question and answer, pray and sing together.
