Overview

The Catechumenate, Christian instruction in the faith, is one of the oldest traditions of the Christian church. Early church liturgies and documents from the 3rd century describe the process by which new believers, called the catechumen, were prepared by the Church for baptism. This ancient practice for Christian disciple-making included a complete immersion in Scripture as well as teaching in the writings of the church fathers, and the Creeds. Additionally, the catechumen were instructed to prepare for baptism through spiritual practices, such as prayer and self-examination.
