The Westminster Confession of Faith

The Westminster Confession of Faith is a detailed religious statement created in the 17th century to outline Christian beliefs, particularly those of Reformed and Protestant traditions. It covers key doctrines such as the nature of God, the role of Jesus Christ, salvation, the Bible’s authority, and how Christians should live. Essentially, it serves as a formal summary of fundamental Christian principles meant to guide church teaching, worship, and personal faith. While rooted in historical theology, it aims to faithfully represent core biblical truths in a systematic way for believers and church communities.
