Introducing The Whitefield Declaration of Faith

After more than three years of editorial work, Nathaniel Bickford (General Editor), Lou Going (Contributing Editor), and Erik Reynolds (Contributing Editor) are excited to introduce to you a new confession of faith in the tradition of the historic confessions of faith of the Protestant Reformation. The Whitefield Declaration of Faith (WDF), named after the town where two of the editors have pastored, is a reformed, credo-baptist, conditionalist confession in the tradition of the Westminster Confession of Faith, Savoy Declaration of Faith and Order (our starting document), and the London Baptist Confession of Faith. The goals of this confession of faith are:

  • To provide a clear, thorough, and precise explanation of biblical Christianity from a reformed, credo-baptist, and conditionalist position;

  • To offer a confession of faith that will foster unity, discipleship, and training among like-minded churches and church leaders; and

  • To maintain faithfulness to the originals as we believe they are generally a correct summary of biblical truth.


It is our desire for this confession of faith to bring unity and clarity among churches, church officers, and individual Christians who are like-minded; as well as to showcase to all other brothers and sisters in Christ our common foundation on the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, as communicated in God's written Word, the Bible. And it is our hope that it will serve the church well in the years to come.


In the future we look forward to gradually introducing related resources to coincide with the WDF.


The completed work can be purchased on Amazon, and will be viewable soon, in its entirety, at whitefielddeclaration.com.
