I want them to understand it. It doesn't mean anything if they memorize it but don't understand the Apostle's Creed. My style is to teach experientially. Attend a service project like soup kitchen or food bank. Understand the real physical and spiritual needs of people Experience the body of Christ by learning together, praying together, working together, and doing projects together.
Every ingredient is good but by themselves they have little value in comparison to a whole pizza.
Leave out the dough or cheese and it loses much of its flavor and texture. Plus some people like plain cheese churches and some people like supreme churches. These young people learn the Apostle's Creed, they understand it, and they experience it. They have written assignments, Bible studies, a personal interview with me and a final exam. They are here for only one reason.
