Tim Keller explains the importance of catechism for children and families.
Why Catechism?
Below are just a few resources to explain the importance of catechism and why we use this on Wednesdays in EKidz. Our hope is that children learn biblical narratives, doctrine, and theology giving them a foundation for thinking biblically as they mature, navigate life, and study the Bible. This is best done through having catechism which teaches doctrine alongside biblical narratives which are taught Sunday using the Gospel Project.
