Week 1 - Why a Catechism? Why Now?

This session introduces the GMC catechism and explains why the church chose to write it. The goal is to frame catechesis as a faithful way to pass on sound teaching and form disciples over time.

Session focus

• What a catechism is and why the GMC prepared one.
• How catechesis helps pass on sound doctrine to the next generation.

Key Scriptures

• Deuteronomy 6:4-9
• 2 Timothy 1:13-14
• 2 Timothy 2:2

Notes

Use the GMC catechism's Statement of Purpose (before Q1) to ground discussion about the need for confessional teaching in the local church.
