A Good Confession — Adult Sunday School

Sundays at 9:00 am

Meets in the Sanctuary

A Good Confession is an adult class offered during Sunday School hour at Grace. Our focus is on discussing the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) line-by-line. Written in the mid-seventeenth century, the WCF reflects over a hundred years of Reformation-era doctrinal development, capturing the vigor and excitement of this age of rediscovery. Despite its relative brevity, the Confession packs incredible depth into each sentence. That’s why we are unpacking it, one sentence at a time.

Online Resources

The Westminster Confession, along with the accompanying Larger and Shorter Catechisms, is available online from the Administrative Committee of the PCA. The hardcover edition we are using in class can be ordered from the PCA Bookstore.
