Welcome to The Catechumenate: A Class on Living by Faith.

The Catechumenate is both for those considering church membership and for those current members who would like to review the basics of the Christian life. Each person in the Catechumenate will probably be at a very different place in his or her walk of faith. 

Come and spend time together  with others- learning and being refreshed in the basics of Christian life!

Bible Studies

Sunday & Tuesday Mornings
Contact: Pastor Aadland

SUNDAY BIBLE STUDY

We’re pausing our study of Genesis to explore something central to the Christian life — the Means of Grace. Through the Word and the Sacraments, Christ gives His gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation. Together, we’ll look at key Scriptures highlighted in the Small Catechism’s final three chief parts: Baptism, Confession and Absolution, and Holy Communion.

Our pastors typically alternate leading Sunday morning Bible studies; this fall, the one-hour class will be taught by Pr. Thomas Aadland. Whether you’re new or returning, you’re invited to listen, learn, and join the conversation.

Location: The Fireside Room
Day & Time: Sundays at 10:30 AM

First Steps in Music

TUESDAY BIBLE STUDY

Need a midweek pick-me-up? Pause, refresh, and dig deeper into God’s Word with us. On Tuesday mornings, we gather for a one-hour Bible study led by Pr. Thomas Aadland. Bring a friend, grab a cup of coffee, and join the conversation as we return to the Minor Prophets and discover God’s faithfulness for every generation.

Location: The Fireside Room
Day & Time: Tuesdays at 10:00 AM
