Westminster Shorter Catechism (For Kids): In Updated English, Scripture Proofs

The Westminster Confession of Faith is a significant document in the Reformed Christian tradition, outlining its core beliefs and theological stance. It was developed by the Westminster Assembly, a group of theologians and laymen which met in the 1640s during the English Civil War, with the goal of reforming the Church of England. The Confession covers a wide range of theological topics, including the nature of God, the authority of Scripture, the person and work of Christ, the role of the Church, and the end times. We have updated this timeless work into modern, updated English in a way that’s easy to teach your kids. We have specifically updated the text to be easy to understand with a young audience. The Confession is known for its detailed and systematic approach to Christian doctrine. It presents a Calvinistic view on topics such as predestination and the sovereignty of God, and it also emphasizes the importance of personal faith in Christ for salvation. Additionally, it discusses the role of the sacraments, the importance of the Church, and the duty of the state towards the Church. The Westminster Confession of Faith continues to be used as a standard of doctrine in many Reformed churches around the world.
