Catechism Memory Program

Redeemer’s Catechism Memory Program helps children learn and remember the truths of the Christian faith through catechism memorization and recitation. Parents guide their children’s learning at home with support from Sunday School teachers and the elders.

How the program works

  1. Register your children

    Parents can register their children to let the elders know you're interested and allow us to track your children's progress.

  2. Learn and practice at home

    Children work through their catechism with their parents’ support, while Sunday School teachers and elders come alongside to encourage them.

  3. Recite and track progress

    Your child recites catechism questions to their elder and keeps track on a progress card.

  4. Receive recognition

    Children are recognized at the halfway point. The final goal is reciting the whole catechism, followed by final recognition with a Certificate of Completion and a personalized study Bible.

Completing individual question sections is progress toward the goal. Final recognition requires a whole-catechism recitation.
