What is emphasized in the CandMA's catechism?

The emphasis in the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) catechism is on foundational doctrines and an understanding of the Christian faith. The catechism serves as a teaching tool that articulates key beliefs and doctrines that are central to C&MA theology, helping believers to comprehend the essentials of their faith, including topics such as the nature of God, salvation, the authority of Scripture, and the role of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the believer's life.

This focus on foundational doctrines is vital for fostering a deep, authentic Christian faith that equips believers for ministry and evangelism, aligning with the C&MA's mission to reach the lost and nurture believers. Instead of promoting personal success or prosperity, the catechism aims to ground individuals firmly in biblical truth and the core tenets of Christian faith, which is essential for spiritual growth and community life within the church.

Additionally, the catechism does not primarily engage with modern cultural trends or limit itself to Old Testament teachings; rather, it strives to provide a comprehensive understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, encapsulating the overall narrative of Scripture and its implications for believers today. This holistic approach underlines the importance of doctrinal integrity in the life of the C&MA
