I sometimes get strange looks when I talk about catechism. Why does a non-ecumenical, charismatic guy talk about catechism. I get those strange looks from my non-ecumenical friends who have a preconceived mindset or lens (paradigm) that they view the word catechism through. I always have to frame the front end of sharing catechism resources with a breakdown of what catechism actually is, and what it is not.
The word Catechism comes from Ancient Greek: κατηχέω, which simply means “to teach orally”. The format typically comprises of a series of questions and answers that are taught repetitively for the purpose of laying the foundation of the christian faith. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines Catechism as:
1 : oral instruction
2 : a manual for catechizing
specifically : a summary of religious doctrine often in the form of questions and answers
3a : a set of formal questions put as a test
b : something resembling a catechism especially in being a rote response or formulaic statement
Catechism is not only practiced by the ecumenical faiths though this is the typical paradigm that the 
world views catechism through, hence the often confounded looks I receive when I talk about catechizing our children. People largely picture in their minds the catholic priest teaching catechism classes in preparation of confirmation and first communion within the Catholic church. However catechism was widely used across many faith expressions for the primary purpose of spiritual formation in their families and children.
Besides the ecumenical faiths catechism has historical roots in many protestant, evangelical and yes even Pentecostal faiths. William Seymour, founder of the Azusa Street revival, included a catechism in the Doctrines and Disciplines of the Azusa Street Apostolic Faith Mission. Assemblies of God minister Warren D. Combs produced a catechism in the 1960’s. In 2016 Henry Volk the host of the Theology in Perspective podcast authored a resource entitled, A Pentecostal Catechism. (Wiki resource)
For our family Catechism is one of the tools we use to disciple and develop spiritual formation in our children. We use a resource call “The New City Catechism” authored by The Gospel Coalition. 
It is available in book form (which we prefer since we like paper) but also available as a free web app as well as free IOS and Android apps. Did I mention the apps are free. The book format is fairly inexpensive though.
This particular catechism is 52 questions and answers, includes scripture references and if you are using the online or app versions also includes commentary and videos of kids songs of the catechism questions and answers. 52 questions breaks down perfectly into one year, giving one week to each question and answer. You can find out more here.
So let me encourage you this year, shake off your hesitation and preconceived notions of what catechism means and grab a copy of the New City Catechism and dig in with your family and kids.
