Catechesis is teaching. In the last chapter of Matthew, teaching is part of what Jesus instructed His apostles to do to make disciples of all nations (baptizing and teaching them). In the church, teaching isn’t just about cramming information into our heads; rather, the hearing and study of God’s Word is used by the Holy Spirit to create and sustain faith. That means catechesis is for all ages and all times in life—enrollment can begin in the womb, and our funeral service could be considered our graduation ceremony.

In addition to worship services, there are many opportunities for study at Peace, and a number of resources for being in the Word of God at home and as a family.

Sunday School

Classes for Pre-school through High School are offered. Pre-K through 8th grade meet in Fellowship Hall for a short opening.

Catechism Class

• 5th & 6th Grades: Old Testament Catechesis one year and New Testament Catechesis the next.
• 7th & 8th Grades: Lutheran Catechesis emphasizing Holy Scripture, Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, and the Lutheran Service Book as they prepare for First Communion (when ready) and Confirmation (8th grade).

If you would like to learn more about what Lutherans believe or are interested in joining Peace, contact either of the pastors or the church office.
