What you’ll do

Through short, structured lessons, you’ll walk through the Catechism’s 52 Lord’s Days and its threefold pattern of the Christian life: our misery, our deliverance in Christ, and our gratitude expressed in obedience.

Each module pairs accessible teaching with visual storytelling, guiding you from key Scripture texts to the Catechism’s questions and answers, and then into practical application, so doctrine becomes doxology.

You’ll find built-in checkpoints, in the form of quizzes, to reinforce learning. The course is ideal for new learners who want a clear introduction, as well as seasoned believers who want a fresh, organized review. Pastors, elders, catechism classes and discipleship groups can also use the videos as a ready-to-teach supplement.

By the end, you’ll be better equipped to articulate the gospel, connect confessional teaching to the Bible, and apply Reformed doctrine to everyday life: deepening assurance, strengthening worship, and building a more resilient, Scripture-shaped faith.

Try a number, like 32 for Lord’s Day 32 or Q 1, or a word from a question.
