For children: Teaching the faith is the highest privilege given to parents. The documents below are meant to assist parents in this effort.
The Catechism is to be memorized according to age.
The Story Bible is available here.
For all: Pray the Catechism. The basis for all catechesis at Living Word is Luther’s Small Catechism. It directs us to clear passages of Scripture to teach the simplicity of the faith. It also serves as a wonderful prayer book as we take the Word of God and repeat it back to Him. We are not chiefly concerned with knowledge, but with faith grounded in the Scriptures.
These documents are being updated for 2023-2024 A✠D.
