Catechism is a class where our 8th graders will meet every Sunday through the school year starting October 6th, 2024.

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!

Conference Info: In the beginning was the Word. He made all things come into being. He spoke the universe into existence and breathed life into our world. And there was harmony between man and Maker.

Then our enemy whispered the question that drew our first parents into falsehood: “Did God really say?” Ever since his primal lie we have been questioning our Maker’s message. We fell from innocence to guilt, from beauty to brokenness, from fellowship to alienation.

To rescue his creation, the Maker divulged his plan in written form. He gave man his Word, the Bible.

But because of man’s rebellion, every generation has brought with it a new set of challenges set on undermining the Bible’s credibility. Skeptics and critics routinely doubt Scripture’s accuracy, question its reliability, and challenge its goodness. Those persuaded by their approach adopt the belief: Scripture is irrelevant.

The belief that the Bible’s credibility has been undermined leaves believers without a powerful tool against our foe. Jesus, the divine Word, modeled how to evade the enemy’s snare. When tempted, he appealed to God’s Word with, “It is written.” Why? Because Scripture is the proclamation of truth. It is sharper than a two-edged sword, an anchor that keeps us from drifting, and in it are the words of life.

At this year’s Reality Student Apologetics Conference, we’ll meet the challenges raised against God’s Word. We’ll answer the critics and respond to the attacks. We’ll build a foundation for why we can trust the Bible. The confidence of Jesus can be ours as we respond to the world’s challenges when we declare, “It Is Written.”
