About Certification

SmallCatechism.org's certification program is a way to facilitate and recognize growth in learning of the key portions of Luther's Small Catechism. Certification is NOT a substitute for Confirmation.

SmallCatechism.org believes Lutheran Catechesis happens best...

 * In a congregational setting under the direction of a pastor
       and/or specially trained and qualified teacher.
* With the support of the "Head of the Household" (or family
       member) encouraging and supporting the catechumen in
       their studies.
* In a setting which provides personal interaction with a local
       congregation
* Catechumens are demonstrating their desire for growth in
       faith through Worship, Bible Study and participation with
       others in fellowship.
