Catechism at Christ the King
Catechism at Christ the King
O God, who wonderfully created, and yet more wonderfully restored, the dignity of human nature: Grant that we may share the divine life of him who humbled himself to share our humanity, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
What Is Catechism?
This catechism is designed to teach you what it means to be a Christian. It shows you what is essential for Christian faith and life. It will open for you the door to knowing Jesus Christ and experiencing the wonder of God’s love through him. If you follow its teaching, it will help you to become a citizen of God’s kingdom and fully involved in the life and mission of his Church. And it will anchor you in the reality of God’s unquenchable joy, beginning in this life and ever increasing in the life to come.
How We Do Catechism
01.
Start with Dinner and Conversation
As whole people, our learning, our living, our relationships are all apart of how God created us to live. We begin our catechism time with a meal and questions for deeper conversation.
02.
Reading Review
Our leader will then lead the group in a brief review of our group reading, highlighting some of the key ideas that help us build our faith in Him.
03.
Open Discussion
Our goal with catechism is to meet people in their journey "where they are." Some people who come to catechism have been Christians their whole lives, and others are brand new to the faith. By opening our discussion up to the group, we walk with people through each stage of their journey.
05
Prayer
Theology is never meant to exist in a vacuum, but in a living relationship with God. We end our time by drawing near to Him in prayer, bringing our needs, our joys, and inviting Him to take the content and plant it deep within our hearts.
06.
Do I Have to Get Confirmed?
No. While some in the group will be confirmed as Anglicans, no one must. Our goal is that we all grow in our love of God and walk with Him.
Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us
the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known
to us in your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns
with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
for ever. Amen.
