Confessions of Faith

Anabaptist churches are non-creedal, though most would accept the historic Christian creeds like the Apostles Crede and Nicene. Many of them have written confessions that express their faith for a particular time and setting.

Here are several primary examples of confessions of faith in English:

• Seven Articles of Schleitheim (Anabaptist, 1527)
• Strasbourg Discipline (South German Anabaptist, 1568)
• Olive Branch Confession (Dutch Mennonite, 1627)
• Dordrecht Confession of Faith (Mennonite, 1632)
• Mennonite Articles of Faith (Mennonite (Cornelis Ris), 1766)
• Confession of Faith (Fellowship of Concerned Mennonites, 1990)
• Statement of Doctrine (Conservative Mennonite Conference, 1991)
• Statement of Faith (Evangelical Mennonite Conference, 1994)
• Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective (Mennonite Church/General Conference Mennonite Church, 1995)
• Articles of Faith (Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada, 1997)
• Canadian Mennonite Brethren Confession of Faith (1999)
• Evangelical Mennonite Mission Conference (1999)
