[ECC] Ecclesiology: The Church

What is the Church? Is it the pope and bishops, the clergy, a building, an ideology—or something more? When we profess our faith in the one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church, what do we truly believe?

This course equips catechists to answer these questions and form believers for life in the Church and as the Church. Participants will also gain a solid foundation in five key areas: Vatican II, Salvation, Models of the Church, the Four Marks, and Synodality.

what is catechesis?
