Why We use the Catechism
I am persuaded that the use of a good Catechism in all our families will be a great safeguard against the increasing errors of the times, and therefore I have compiled this little manual from the Westminster Assembly's and Baptist Catechisms, for the use of my own church and congregation. Those who use it in their families or classes must labour to explain the sense; but the words should be carefully learned by heart, for they will be understood better as years pass. May the Lord bless my dear friends and their families evermore, isthe prayer of their loving Pastor.

- Catechism is a is a great way to have family devotions
- Catechism is a great way to learn the foundational truths of our faith
- Catechism is a great way for little children to learn and remember
- Catechism is great for young children in the grammar stage to memorize
- Catechism gives a great starting point to expound upon the tenets of the faith
- Catechism includes scripture to teach these tenents of the faith
There are many catechisms available, I would encourage you and your spouse to find one that you adhere to and to begin to use the catechism in your home.
Our family prefers the Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism, and the Westminster Catechism.
