During the worship service, children 3 years of age through 3rd graders will be learning catechism during Kid's Quest. Catechism is designed to systematically teach the basics of knowing and serving God. The teaching is organized to cover the basic topics of creation, providence and salvation. Each child will be given a First Catechism booklet. This booklet is designed to do two things:

1. Provide a list of questions and answers at a child's level to enable children to memorize fundamental doctrines of the faith.

2. Provide a resource for parents and children to use as reference for our current study and their use.

While it is always good to talk about the material in the Catechism at home, it is much better to memorize the questions and answers in order to provide a fundamental foundation for defending the faith that we hold so dear. This is the chief aim of having the program: we want our children to grow firm in their faith and strong in their ability to defend it.

Each child will be given a Catechism Club bag and we would like you to keep the First Catechism booklet inside the bag. Children should bring their bags with them to church each week. Children will also be bringing papers home each week. Please review the papers with your children and help them complete any activites that were not done in class. The papers will also tell you which catechism questions to review with your child each week.

Thank you for your help and commitment to your children.
