New City Catechism (from www.newcitycatechism.com/intro.php)
We hope that this will be a tool for us to use in discipling our children, one another and ourselves as a church community. The New City Catechism is also available online & for your smart phones.
Question 35: Since we are redeemed by grace alone, through faith alone, where does this faith come from?
