Becoming Holistic Disciples—Life Transformation by the Gospel
52 questions in 8 weeks, 1 question per day
Commitment Form
The gospel is glorious – but we need more than excitement, we need understanding. The New City Catechism helps connect the truths of scripture to faith that can be confessed, defended, prayed, and lived. Doctrine is not merely information to master, it is the pathway to deeper fellowship, greater joy in God, and faithful participation in His mission. Join Abigail Afman, Beth Triezenberg, and Shaun Moore in an 8-week course to learn the catechism starting this fall. Sign-up by September 13th. Space is limited.
This class is designed for thoughtful participation, not passive observation. Each week, participants will come prepared to engage with the catechism by reflecting on assigned questions and answers, discussing them with others, and considering how these truths shape doctrine, worship, and everyday life. The goal is not simply to receive information, but to grow in understanding and help one another mature in Christ together.
Daily Learning:
- Read or listen to assigned catechism questions/answers
- Reflect: on the scripture connection
- Journal or discuss and take a few notes: what does this teach me about God? What does this teach me about Jesus? How does the truth help me become more like Christ? What does this mean to you and how do you apply it to your life?
- Pray
- Memorize at least one of the seven Q&A. Why did you choose the one you did?
Weekly Preparation:
- Teaching others is one of the ways God matures us. As we learn to explain biblical truth clearly, we are strengthened in our own understanding and equipped to build up the body of Christ.
- Come prepared to teach on one of seven questions studied over the past week. Randomly we will ask you to teach/explain a Q& A to a lower elementary aged child, a teenager, a friend with sincere excitement about the gospel, but little theological grounding, or an adult curious about what you believe.
- Be ready to share and discuss:
- What has been the most impactful truth to you this week? What questions/reflections do you have from the week?
- What actionable change you made last week and how it has been going.
- What actionable change will plan to make in the upcoming week?
- How does the truth prepare you to participate in God’s mission this week?
As we grow in biblical truth, our goal is not simply to gain knowledge, but to become holistic disciples who increasingly reflect the character of Christ.
