Week 3: Heidelberg Catechism

This class provides a basic orientation to the Reformed tradition that guides our church’s teaching and its ministries. It offers a brief history of the origin and development of Reformed churches, including Presbyterian churches, before reviewing two of the most important Reformed statements of faith (Heidelberg Catechism, Westminster Confession). It explains why Reformed churches focus on “covenant” as a key to understanding the Scriptures. It also introduces central Reformed teachings about the person and work of Christ, salvation, Christian living, and life in the world.
