What We Believe

The Outline of Faith (commonly called the “Catechism” or “Teaching”) is an outline of the Christian faith intended to be used by teachers of the faith for instruction. It is not a complete statement of belief, but rather a beginning outline and brief summary. The Catechism can be helpful for those that have questions about the Christian faith or an inquiring stranger new to the faith. It is structured in Question and Answer form for ease of reference.
