Martin Luther did not envision that his Small Catechism would be used only by pastors teaching confirmation classes. Instead, he wrote before each part, “As the head of the family should teach it in a simple way to his household.” Teaching the faith to children is the chief calling of all Christian parents.
This brief guide from LCMS Family Ministry is designed to equip parents to do just that. It includes a simple and straightforward way for parents to use the Small Catechism in the home with children of all ages.
