Here is the intro from the catechism, along with the catechism attached. Feel free to use this and if you do, send feedback so that we can edit it for future use.

Throughout church history, churches and denominations have expressed their biblical beliefs on important doctrines by way of creeds and confessions. A creed (from the Latin credo, “I believe”) represents a statement of beliefs, while a catechism (also a Latin word, meaning “to teach”) is an instructional tool often in the form of questions and answers to help people (in this case, children) systematically to understand major Bible doctrines.

 Confessions, creeds, and catechisms are not meant to replace Scripture, but to help understand it. Baptists throughout their history have acknowledged the supremacy of Scripture over confessions and creeds, but have used them to provide biblical instruction. Many church leaders, like John Bunyan, Benjamin Keach, John Gill, and Charles Spurgeon wrote and circulated confessions of faith for their local churches or denominations. The use of a catechism is still a powerful tool to help people—including children—to understand the higher things of God.

 This catechism has been designed to help children learn and memorize Bible doctrine. Much of it comes from former Baptist catechisms, but the language has been edited and enhanced for children of our generation. The question and answer format allows a parent or teacher to work directly with a child in a systematic way.

 “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correciton, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16–17; NASB).
