The Westminster Confession of Faith, the church creed of Westminster Abbey, provides a fourfold foundation for the church

The Westminster Confession of Faith provides a foundation that is a fourfold comprehensive and accurate statement of what we are to believe and how we are to worship, how we are to function as a church, and how we are to live. 

Every statement in the confession is referenced from Scripture, the faith of the church is resting on the Scripture itself, and these interpretations of the Scripture make it a thoroughly Biblical document. 

“Everybody has a creed, everybody has their own interpretation of the Bible. If the church did not have a creed, the church couldn’t survive, especially in the era of doubt, confusion, and error, it’s our duty to define the Christian faith,” said a representative from The Church of Scotland.
