Welcome to this short catechism study. Join me every Sunday morning as we go through one question and answer.

The Westminster Shorter Catechism was written in the mid-1600s by the Westminster

Assembly, a group of pastors, theologians, and leaders gathered to bring clarity and reform to

the church according to Scripture.

Completed between 1646 and 1647 and approved in 1648 in London, this catechism contains

107 questions and answers designed to clearly teach the core truths of the Christian faith—even

to those with a simple, childlike understanding.

Each question builds on the last, helping us think carefully, biblically, and deeply about who God is and why we exist.

This isn’t just about memorizing answers.

It’s about shaping how we think, grounding what we believe, and learning to see God more

clearly through His Word.

We’ll take it one question at a time.
