The Confession of 1967 is a confessional standard or guide of the Presbyterian Church (USA). It was written in 1967 as a modern statement of the faith of the then Northern Presbyterian Church (i.e., the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America to supplement the Westminster Confession and the other statements of faith in their Book of Confessions.

The Confession of 1967 is considered heavily influenced by modernism and the neo-Orthodox views of Karl Barth, the Niebuhr brothers, and other theologians of the age, especially regarding the view of Scripture. During the time that its adoption was being considered by the Presbyteries, there was a heavy conservative campaign against its inclusion. The forerunner of the Presbyterian Layman put out several ads which opposed its passage. Despite the opposition, however, it was passed and remains heavily studied in PCUSA seminaries.

From the Preface: In every age the church has expressed its witness in words and deeds as the need of the time required. The earliest examples of confession are found within the Scriptures. Confessional statements have taken such varied forms as hymns, liturgical formulas, doctrinal definitions, catechisms, theological systems in summary, and declarations of purpose against threatening evil.
