Discipling Children through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd…Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a children’s faith formation program that draws from the Montessori method and enables children to engage with the Gospel at their particular developmental levels. CGS offers the whole church the opportunity to be involved in the process of discipling children, praying through the liturgy and living together the habits and teachings of the Christian faith. In our session you will experience CGS and hear about the joys and challenges of implementing CGS in small churches and church plants.
