From September 7th to December 14th, every Sunday from 9:00 to 9:45am, we are delighted to offer Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a beautiful, hands-on faith formation program for children in Level 1 (ages 3–6) and Level 2 (ages 6.5–9). Please register at the button below!

Level 1: Ages 3–6
Children at this age have a deep capacity for wonder, joy, and trust, making it the perfect time to introduce them to the heart of our faith: God’s unfailing love revealed in Jesus, the Good Shepherd. In a peaceful, prayerful setting, children explore thoughtfully prepared materials that make the mystery of God tangible and approachable.
At the center of Level 1 is the Parable of the Good Shepherd. Jesus calls each of us by name, leads us to green pastures, and invites us to rest in His care. Through Scripture, hands-on work, and quiet reflection, children learn to recognize the Shepherd’s voice and joyfully follow Him.

Level 2: Ages 6.5–9
Children in this stage are eager to go deeper in their understanding of God’s Word and the unfolding story of salvation. Building upon the foundation of Level 1, they explore the history of God’s covenant with His people and how this covenant is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
The Good Shepherd remains at the heart of their journey, now joined by other parables and teachings that invite them to reflect on moral choices, the responsibilities of Christian life, and their role in God’s kingdom. Through Scripture study, prayer, and hands-on materials, children are encouraged to grow in wisdom and in their personal relationship with Christ.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Dcn. Jacilyn (jacilyn@goodshepherdnashville.org). Don’t forget to register!
