The Westminster Shorter Catechism - Question 1 : What is the Chief End of Man?

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 WestminsterAssembly, a group of pastors, theologians, and leaders gathered to bring clarity and reform tothe church according to Scripture.Completed between 1646 and 1647 and approved in 1648 in London, this catechism contains107 questions and answers designed to clearly teach the core truths of the Christian faith—evento 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 moreclearly through His Word.We’ll take it one question at a time.
