Every generation is responsible for training up the generation that follows, pouring out their lives into the lives of others (cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-9). The whole concept of Catechism has historically been linked to this process of the transference of the Faith. As the Apostle Paul tells Timothy, we have been entrusted with the sacred Covenant-Trust that we must likewise entrust to others who are trustworthy enough to receive it and entrust it to still others themselves (cf. 2 Timothy 1:13-14 & 2:1-2).
To this end, we have worked diligently to update the EMC's Catechism so that it can be even more effectively used as an interactive, semi-open-source tool for membership classes, as well as personal and family discipleship.
The 26 Articles are divided into 4 Sections. Each one includes scripture, reflection questions, and access points for further engagement. As you find what works for you, your family, and your ministry, share your feedback with us so that we can improve this tool.
