The Westminster Standards are rooted in history, biblically timeless, and a confession for all peoples. For centuries, Baptists, Congregationalists, the Reformed and Presbyterians, have all drawn strength from the theology of the Westminster Standards. Those Standards being the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Westminster Larger Catechism, and the Westminster Shorter Catechism.

As an example of their widespread influence across Protestant denominations, the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession, and the Congregationalists’ Savoy Declaration are both built upon the Westminster Confession of Faith. The Westminster Standards, for the English-speaking world, represent the historic articulation of the gospel, and sound theology, recovered during the Protestant Reformation.

However, the staying power of the Westminster Standards is not in their historical tradition, but in the fact that they are anchored in the Word of God. They articulate biblical faith in a way that transcends time and geography. And in this way, the Westminster Standards are a confession for all peoples.
