About this app

The New City Catechism is a modern-day resource aimed at helping children and adults alike learn the core doctrines of the Christian faith via 52 questions and answers. The New City Catechism mobile app makes it easy to take all of the questions and answers with you wherever you go—for free!

The app pairs each question and answer with a Scripture reading from the ESV, a short prayer, and a devotional commentary written by contemporary pastors, including John Piper, Timothy Keller, Kevin DeYoung, and others.

The app also includes a short version of each answer and kid-friendly songs designed to help children memorize the entire catechism.

Features:

• 52 catechism questions and answers related to God, humanity, sin, salvation, and more
• Devotional commentary on every question and answer written by respected pastors and church leaders
• Short prayers to accompany each question and answer
• A children's mode featuring short versions of each answer and quick access to kid-friendly songs designed to aid memorization
• Related Bible passages drawn from the ESV

The New City Catechism is a joint project of the Gospel Coalition and Crossway.

Ratings and reviews

Please bring back the "All Songs" button! We used to love this app for in the car. Now, we rarely use it at all because I have to physically turn on every single song. I'm not sure who decided to ditch that feature, but I hope they realize their mistake after looking at all the reviews and restore that option!

New City Catechism is a regular feature of Sunday's services. I enjoy it and asked the pastor about it. He gave me the book. In the book is a reference to the app. The app has everything as described, including a children's version. During the reading, the catechism is referenced by number. The app does not seem to have a search to quickly go to the referenced catechism.

Please please make the songs have the continuous play again. I used this constantly in the car with my grandchildren as we're in the car a great deal and could sing along together without having to stop and push play after each song. I am too old to do this and drive. Thanks for a wonderful app that was able to use a bit more in the past.
