Are you a young Lutheran getting ready for confirmation?  Are you a life-long member of a Lutheran congregation who would like to review the fundamentals of the faith you grew up in?  Are you new to the Lutheran church and eager to learn more about Lutheran doctrine?  Are you a non-Lutheran curious about what we teach and believe?  If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then this resource is for you.  This page contains links to detailed explanations of the six parts of the Small Catechism, Martin Luther's indispensable booklet of basic Christian doctrine.  We pray that these resources will help you grow in the Christian faith.  Follow the links below to view or download the files.  Please note that these are PDF files, so you must have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view or print them.
