All there is to know about the doctrine

Written in faith for people of faith: the Catechism of the New Apostolic Church (CNAC) is the doctrinal reference book on the New Apostolic profession. It is the normative and most systematic description of the Church’s doctrine to date.

The Catechism contains the broad strokes of principal statements of the Old and New Testaments, common basic convictions of all Christians, and the specific features of the New Apostolic faith.

After all, despite all differences of interpretation, the New Apostolic Church has great respect for other churches and their doctrinal statements.
