Catechism is a class for our 8th graders who will meet every Sunday during the 11am service in the youth center. This class will go through the school year, starting September 21, 2025.

We will be engaged in conversations every week about Biblical truths. We want to help students ask questions, think about how they are supposed to live in response to the biblical truths, and set them up for success in their faith. 

This is important! We live in a culture and world where students (even in the Church) are biblically illiterate, don’t know why the believe what they believe, and according to the Barna Group, roughly 70% of high school students who enter college as professing Christians, will leave with little to no faith. 50% of those that leave their faith do it within the first semester of college. Going through Catechism doesn’t guarantee that students will not face hardships in life. We are helping them create a Biblical foundation where they can own their own faith. When they can own their own faith and know why, this helps create a strong foundation, so when the storms of life hit, they still have a strong foundation and relationship with Jesus!

This is a great opportunity for eighth graders to build a Biblical foundation and own their own faith!

Parents/Guardians,

Looking for a chance to connect with your teen’s small group leaders? Join us on Sunday, October 12th at 5:00 PM upstairs in the Youth Center at The Naz!

Enjoy dinner, connections with other parents along with small group leaders, and a short training as we partner together to encourage and support your teens. This is a great way to build relationships and work together in their faith journey!

Childcare (with dinner!) will be provided for kids from birth through 5th grade!
