Reformed study guides by topic
Begin with Scripture. Follow a topic through the church’s standards, then reflect on what it means for faith and everyday life.
Understanding covenant theology
God deals with His people through covenants. His promises help us read the Old and New Testaments as one unfolding story fulfilled in Christ.
Open study guide →Baptism and the children of believers
Baptism points us to Christ and marks reception into the visible church. Reformed Presbyterians administer it to professing believers and the children of believers.
Open study guide →Assurance of salvation
Believers may know that they belong to Christ. That confidence grows through His promises and the Spirit’s work, even when feelings are unsettled.
Open study guide →Keeping the Lord’s Day
The Lord’s Day gives a weekly rhythm of worship and holy rest, turning our attention toward God and making room to serve others.
Open study guide →Church membership and life together
Christ gathers His people into a church family where they worship, receive care, serve one another, and grow under His Word.
Open study guide →How to use these guides
Read the Bible passages first, then the explanation and linked standards. Each guide includes questions for personal reflection, family conversation, or a small group. Take your time with unfamiliar words; the glossary can help.
For the church’s adopted texts, follow the links to the 2026 RPCNA Constitution. You can read the Confession and Testimony side by side on their chapter pages.
