Catechism Study Anchored in Christ Introduction: The word "catechism" comes from the Greek word κατηχέω (katēcheō), which means "to instruct" or "to teach." Throughout church history, catechisms have been written to instruct new believers in the faith so they can understand what a church believes on major issues. Ultimately, the purpose is to ensure new believers (of all ages) will be able to articulate the faith they believe. What to expect: A typical catechism includes a list of questions and answers. The catechism user is expected to memorize the question and answer. The hope is not to cover every possible element of each doctrine, but that in each question a foundation of sound doctrine can be laid to prepare the believer for maturity. Catechisms can be done by an individual memorizing the questions and answers themselves, or by an instructor (often a parent, pastor, or teacher) asking the question, and the student providing the expected answer.

DOCTRINE FOR THE HUNGRY Go deeper into the great doctrines of the Christian faith—and learn why they matter for worship, spiritual growth, and everyday life. This accessible but substantial class will help participants examine Scripture, understand major theological positions, recognize error, and explain what they believe with biblical clarity. Doctrine for the Hungry is designed as a two-semester course. This registration is for the Fall semester only; registration for the Spring semester will open separately.

Each week will introduce the historical setting, structure, major themes, Christological emphasis, key passages, and practical implications of a New Testament book or section. The Fall semester will cover the background of the New Testament, the Gospels, Acts, and several of Paul’s major letters. The course will continue into the Spring semester.

Using Paul David Tripp’s What Did You Expect?, this 14-week class will help husbands and wives examine marriage biblically and grow in grace, forgiveness, communication, faithfulness, and Christlike love. This class is intended for married couples in every season of marriage, whether they are presently thriving or struggling.

Our Global Workers Emily Rezek Greater Europe Mission (France) Mission Focus Currently the majority of my ministry is at the FEU (Foyer Évangélique Universitaire), a non- denominational Christian association for university students. Here we seek to share the gospel with as many students as possible, as well as to disciple and train believers and to connect them to local churches. A challenge for us is to continue to find creative ways to reach out to the 100,000+ students in Lille! But we’ve seen that the university years are often a time when students are more open spiritually and seeking answers to life’s big questions. Pray for us as we interact with these students, and for their hearts to be receptive to the truth. Testimony My mother first introduced me to Christ and began taking me to church at a young age, where I learned that God created me, loved me, and wanted a relationship with me—but that was impossible because of my sin. The only way to be reconciled to God was through Jesus Christ, God made flesh, who paid my debt on the cross and rose again, defeating sin forever! At age 7, after Vacation Bible School, I made the decision to follow Jesus, and I’ve never regretted it! I know that without Christ in my life, I would be a misguided, self-serving, and unloving sinner. I’ve seen God’s faithfulness to me throughout my life, and every day he continues to teach me new truths about his love and purpose for me. He has given me a new life, and my desire is to use this life to honor him. Back to Global Workers
