Practical Advice

How you decide to use the New City Catechism resources is up to you but here are a few suggestions and things that have worked for others:

  • Make a commitment to go over the content regularly and to review past Questions/Answers.
  • Come up with a reward system for your kids as they memorize the Questions/Answers.
  • Don't make it so regimented that you have no flexibility and it becomes legalistic - have fun with it and keep it practical. Christian Living is joyous and learning more about God and His attributes is a great blessing. (Practically speaking: make it a habit by reviewing your Question/Answer during family meals).
  • Prepare a consistent plan for how you are going to go over and discuss the New City Catechism question/answer for each week. Below is an example of what you could do.
  1. Sunday Afternoon or Evening - Watch the video commentary and discuss the question/answer/verse
  2. One Weeknight during dinner - Read over the commentary section and prayer together and discuss what you have learned about the content
  3. Throughout the Week - Daily quiz yourself and others in the family with the Question and Answer for that week.
  4. Saturday - Review the week's question and past Reformed Catechism questions and pray for the Sunday service as a family.
