The Dordrecht Confession of Faith is a statement of religious beliefs adopted by Dutch Mennonite leaders at a meeting in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, on 21 April 1632. Its 18 articles emphasize belief in salvation through Jesus Christ, baptism, nonviolence (non-resistance), withdrawing from, or shunning those who are excommunicated from the Church,^[1] feet washing ("a washing of the saints' feet"),^[2] and avoidance of taking oaths.

It was an influential part of the Radical Reformation and remains an important religious document to many modern Anabaptist groups, such as the Amish. In 1725, Jacob Gottschalk, a Mennonite bishop, met with sixteen other ministers from southeastern Pennsylvania and adopted the Confession. They also wrote the following endorsement, which Gottschalk was the first to sign:^[3]

We the hereunder written Servants of the Word of God, and Elders in the Congregation of the People, called Mennonists, in the Province of Pennsylvania, do acknowledge, and herewith make known, that we do own the foregoing Confession, Appendix, and Menno's Excusation, to be according to our Opinion; and also, have took the same to be wholly ours. In Testimony whereof, and that we believe that same to be good, we have here unto Subscribed our Names.

The Confession's articles are as follows:^[4]

I. Of God and the Creation of all Things
II. Of the Fall of Man
III. Of the Restoration of Man Through the Promise of the Coming Christ
IV. The Advent of Christ into This World, and the Reason of His Coming
V. The Law of Christ, i.e., the Holy Gospel or the New Testament
VI. Of Repentance and Reformation of Life
VII. OF Holy Baptism
VIII. Of the Church of Christ
IX. Of the Election, and Offices of Teachers, Deacons, and Deaconesses, in the Church
X. Of the Holy Supper
XI. Of the Washing of the Saints' Feet
XII. Of the State of Matrimony
XIII. Of the Office of the Secular Authority
XIV. Of Revenge
XV. Of the Swearing of Oaths
XVI. Of the Ecclesiastical Ban, or Separation from the Church
XVII. Of Shunning the Separated
XVIII. Of the Resurrection of the Dead, and the Last Judgment
