What is a Catechism?

Pastor Adam mentioned catechism in a recent message and we thought it a great reason to give some further explanation. A catechism is an ancient way of teaching the truths of the gospel. It is a series of questions and answers designed for memorization, meditation, and recitation.

The Westminster Confession of Faith is one of the ancient confessions we ascribe to as part of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. The Westminster divines (the authors) also wrote a catechism, but there are many, especially in the reformed tradition.

One of our favorites for today is the New City Catechism which takes the old truths of the reformed faith and puts them into modern English. Check it out!
