Why This Site Exists

The Heidelberg Catechism is a Reformed confession of faith written in 1563, organized around the three themes of human guilt, God's grace in Christ, and the gratitude owed in response — one of the most beloved catechisms in the Reformed tradition.

The Heavenly Network, in partnership with The Christian Chain, has developed this network of Church Creed and Confession sites in order to make the historic faith of the Church clearly explained, faithfully presented, and freely accessible to every believer, student, and seeker who wants to understand what the whole Church has always believed together.
