Curious Catechism is a resource compiled by a team of folks at Blacknall Memorial Presbyterian Church and edited by Brandon Miller (Director of Children’s Ministry). It draws from the scriptures and the historic confessions of the Christian faith, including the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds, Westminster and Heidelberg Catechisms, the Book of Common Prayer, and the Book of Confessions of the Presbyterian Church. The catechism consists of 52 questions in modern language, meant for families to engage with together! Some things will go over younger kids’ heads, but you might be surprised by what they do pick up. And what they ask questions about. the answers in this catechism are not meant to be exhaustive but starting points for curious minds.

Below, you will find the whole deck and our most recent editions of each booklet. You are welcome to use these at home, but please keep in mind that Christian catechesis is meant to happen within community! Join us at Blacknall and we will go through “This Week’s Card” together.
