Summer Catechesis Night Schedule
The goal of Adult Catechesis is to equip Anglican worshippers with the necessary understanding of our faith, our shared practices, and our history. Catechesis is religious formation based on doctrine. As such, it should encompass many different areas: dogmatic theology, liturgical theology, moral theology, biblical theology, historical theology, and missiology. We will provide catechesis based on cycles, moving from one topic to another in order to provide comprehensive formation for our parishioners.
