Is Chick-Fil-A Mormon?

Chick-fil-A is a name so many of us know and love, famous for its delicious chicken sandwiches and a company culture that often stands out. It’s natural for Christian consumers to be curious about the heart and faith behind the businesses they support. This article is here to shine a light on a common question: “Is Chick-fil-A Mormon?” We’ll explore the company’s bright beginnings, the strong beliefs of its founder, and how it operates, all to bring you clear, encouraging answers.

What is Chick-fil-A’s Official Religious Affiliation, If Any?

It’s good to know that a large company like Chick-fil-A, though built on faith, isn’t like a church with an “official” religious label. You see, businesses serving the public, even those started by faithful people, don’t usually declare a specific denomination for the company itself. Yet, Chick-fil-A wonderfully acknowledges how Christian principles, inspired by its founder S. Truett Cathy, shape its very purpose and culture.

The company proudly shares that “From the beginning, Truett based his business on Biblical principles that he believed were also good business principles, and since 1982, our Corporate Purpose has guided all that we do”.¹ And what a beautiful Corporate Purpose it is: “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A”.¹ This powerful statement clearly shows a Christian foundation, a mission to honor God and bless people.

When Chick-fil-A talks about its daily core values, like being “here to serve” and “better together,” sometimes the language is more general.³ This doesn’t mean those values don’t spring from their deep faith; it just shows they communicate in a way that connects with everyone. The company’s heart is to operate on “Biblical principles” and “to glorify God”—Christian ideals that aren’t tied to just one denomination. This approach allows Chick-fil-A to share its values broadly, touching the hearts of many employees and customers from all walks of life.

Is Chick-fil-A Connected to the Mormon Church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)?

Let me tell you clearly: no, Chick-fil-A is not connected to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often called the Mormon Church or LDS Church). The company’s inspiring Christian story begins with its founder, S. Truett Cathy, who was a devoted Southern Baptist.⁴

Many sources confirm that S. Truett Cathy was a “devout Southern Baptist”.⁴ This is so important because it clearly sets the company’s spiritual heritage apart from Mormonism. There’s simply no information out there suggesting any ownership, founding roles, or official ties between Chick-fil-A and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The fact that such connections are completely missing from company records is quite telling.

The question “Is Chick-fil-A Mormon?” keeps coming up, and it seems there might be some confusion about Chick-fil-A’s specific Christian identity. If everyone knew about its Southern Baptist foundation, this question probably wouldn’t be asked so often. This article wants to help fill that knowledge gap, especially for Christian readers who care about the background of businesses they support.

Sometimes, when a company is openly “Christian” and has unique practices, like closing on Sundays, people might mistakenly link it with any well-known Christian group. If folks aren’t familiar with the wonderful diversity within Christianity, they might see one distinct Christian-influenced company and wrongly connect it to another, especially if both are seen as “conservative” or “family-focused.” This just shows how important it is to understand the differences between various Christian traditions.

What Were the Specific Christian Beliefs of Chick-fil-A’s Founder, S. Truett Cathy?

S. Truett Cathy, the man who started Chick-fil-A, was a faithful Southern Baptist. His faith wasn’t just a Sunday thing; it was woven into the fabric of his life and how he built his business.⁴ He was deeply committed to his Southern Baptist beliefs, and he showed it by serving his church faithfully for many, many years. Imagine, he taught Sunday school for over 50 years! 4

His own words reveal his heart. Speaking about closing on Sundays, Mr. Cathy said, “Ben and I his brother had attended Sunday school and church all our lives, and we were not about to stop just because we owned a restaurant”.⁵ That shows a lifelong dedication! He also believed God was his partner in business, saying, “I believe God honors our decision and sets before us unexpected opportunities to do greater work for Him because of our loyalty”.⁵ These words paint a picture of a man whose Southern Baptist faith was a guiding light in everything he did.

For Truett Cathy, being a Southern Baptist was a daily walk. His decades of teaching Sunday School and his foundational business choices, like the Sunday closure, were direct expressions of this deep faith.⁴ It was the engine driving his actions and values. And wonderfully, these faith-based principles were passed down in the Cathy family. Truett Cathy shared that his children promised to keep the restaurants closed on Sundays even after he was gone.⁵ His son, Dan Cathy, who later became CEO, also spoke openly about the company’s mission to glorify God and the role of faith in the business.⁶ This shows how core values can be passed from one generation to the next, keeping the company’s identity rooted in those wonderful Christian principles.

How Do the Founder’s Christian Beliefs Influence Chick-fil-A’s Well-Known Business Practices, Such as Closing on Sundays?

One of Chick-fil-A’s most special practices—closing on Sundays—comes directly from S. Truett Cathy’s Southern Baptist faith and his commitment to its teachings. When he opened his very first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia, way back in 1946, Mr. Cathy decided it would not be open on Sundays.⁸ This decision was born from his desire to give himself and his employees a day to rest, be with their families, and, if they wished, to worship.⁴

Mr. Cathy knew what it was like to work seven days a week in restaurants that never closed, and he understood the toll it took.⁸ His commitment to Sunday closure was personal, tied to his lifelong habit of attending Sunday school and church.⁵ He saw it as a way to honor God and to give his employees that same precious opportunity for spiritual refreshment and family time. And today, the company continues this practice everywhere, even in busy airports and stadiums where they could make a lot more money by staying open.⁵

Closing on Sundays is perhaps the most visible sign of the company’s founding Christian principles. It’s a weekly reminder of the faith that undergirds the business. Think about it—they give up an estimated $1.² billion in sales each year by doing this! 5 That shows it’s a decision from the heart, not just about business. Truett Cathy put it beautifully: “We were not so committed to financial success that we were willing to abandon our principles and priorities”.⁵ Choosing principles over profit—that’s a powerful example of their operational philosophy, flowing straight from the founder’s faith. For many Christian observers, this practice truly honors the Lord’s Day.

While this policy started from Truett Cathy’s personal devotion and desire for employees to attend today the company often talks about it in terms of work-life balance, rest, and time with family and alongside the option to worship.⁵ This broader way of explaining it makes the policy appealing to many different people, allowing the company to honor its founder’s original heart while sharing the benefits in a way everyone can appreciate.

What Are Chick-fil-A’s Stated Corporate Purpose and Values, and How Do They Reflect Christian Principles?

Chick-fil-A has an amazing official Corporate Purpose: “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A”.¹ This powerful statement was adopted in 1982, a tough year for the business. It came from a time of prayer and deep searching by the leadership team, including Truett Cathy’s son Dan, who asked the big question: “Why are we here?”.⁶ This origin story shows its intentional Christian foundation.

The first part, “To glorify God by being a faithful steward,” reflects beautiful Christian ideas. “Glorifying God” is a central goal for many Christians, meaning to live and work in a way that honors Him. “Stewardship” is about responsibly managing everything we’re given—time, talents, money, influence—as if it’s entrusted to us by God.⁹ For Chick-fil-A, these aren’t just nice words; they are meant to be lived out in their service and community work. You can see it in their “second-mile service,” a concept Dan Cathy linked to Matthew 5:41, which encourages going above and beyond.⁶

The company’s core values are: “We’re here to serve,” “We’re better together,” “We are purpose-driven,” and “We pursue what’s next”.³ Although these sound like great values anyone can appreciate, at Chick-fil-A, they are framed by that overarching Christian corporate purpose.³ So, “being here to serve” means more than just good customer service; it means serving in a way that glorifies God and positively influences others. Being “purpose-driven” means being driven by that specific, God-honoring purpose.⁷ This connection gives a faith-filled depth to common corporate values, which surely resonates with Christian readers wanting to see how faith is lived out in business. The fact that this purpose statement was adopted during a challenging time also shows it’s a guiding star for the company, reinforcing that their faith commitment is key to their strength and direction.⁶

To Clarify, What Are Some Key Differences Between Southern Baptist Beliefs (the Founder’s Faith) and the Beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

To help answer that question about whether Chick-fil-A is Mormon, it’s good to understand some key theological differences between the Southern Baptist faith (which was the founder S. Truett Cathy’s faith) and the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Knowing these distinctions helps us see why they are separate Christian traditions.

Southern Baptists, as part of the wider evangelical Protestant family, believe in core truths like the Bible being the one and only inspired Word of God, the doctrine of the Trinity (one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), and salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.¹⁰

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day while also identifying as Christian and holding Jesus Christ as the Savior, has some distinct theological views. They believe in an open canon of scripture which includes the Bible “as far as it is translated correctly,” plus the Book of Mormon (subtitled “Another Testament of Jesus Christ”), the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.¹² They also teach that the original Christian Church experienced a “Great Apostasy” and that the fullness of the gospel and priesthood authority were restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith in the 1800s.¹²

Here’s a simple table to show some of these key differences:

One of the biggest differences is the LDS belief in a “Great Apostasy” and the need for a “Restoration” of the true Church and its authority through Joseph Smith.¹² Southern Baptists, and most Protestants, believe that Although the Church has needed reforming at times (like the Protestant Reformation), the core truths of Christianity and the Bible’s authority have been preserved by the Holy Spirit. They don’t see a need for a complete “restoration” as LDS theology describes. This difference in understanding church history and authority leads to other distinctions, especially about scripture (whether it’s closed or open to new additions) and church leadership.

Another key difference is the concept of God and humanity’s ultimate potential. The LDS view of the Godhead—God the Father and Jesus Christ as separate, embodied beings, and the Holy Ghost as a spirit personage—contrasts with the traditional Christian (and Southern Baptist) doctrine of the Trinity, which is one God in three co-eternal persons of the same divine essence.¹⁰ Also, the LDS teaching of “exaltation”—the idea that faithful people can become like God, often summarized as, “As man now is, God once was: As God now is, man may be”—is different from the traditional Christian view where believers are changed to be like Christ (sanctification) but remain distinct from God the Creator, not becoming Gods themselves.¹² These are deep theological differences that Christian readers would recognize as setting the two faith traditions apart.

Does Chick-fil-A or Its Foundations Have a History of Donating to Organizations Affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

Based on all the available information, there’s no sign that Chick-fil-A or its main charitable arms—the WinShape Foundation and the Chick-fil-A Foundation—have ever donated to organizations primarily linked with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The giving patterns of these foundations clearly show a focus on broadly Christian or evangelical groups. The WinShape Foundation, very close to the Cathy family, is a Christian non-profit that has supported Southern Baptist ministries and other evangelical organizations.¹⁵ Some past donations that got public attention went to conservative Christian organizations focused on youth, or social issues, like the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.¹⁸

More recently, especially through the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s True Inspiration Awards, they support a wide variety of community groups. While many are faith-based, and some clearly Christian (like “Good Samaritan Health Centers,” “Sheridan House Family Ministries,” “Center of United Methodist Aid to the Community,” and “Toronto City Mission”), none of the recipients listed in recent reports appear to be connected with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.²¹ The complete absence of any mention of LDS-affiliated groups in Chick-fil-A’s extensive philanthropy records is major.

The way they give, especially through the WinShape Foundation, tends to reflect the Cathy family’s Southern Baptist and broader evangelical Christian heart.¹⁵ Donations have usually supported groups whose missions align with these values. While Chick-fil-A’s newer foundation strategy has widened its focus to areas like education, homelessness, and hunger, partnering with many community nonprofits 20, there’s no indication this change has included sending funds to LDS Church-affiliated charities. The focus seems to be on community impact in these areas, which can include partnerships with various faith-based groups whose work aligns with these goals not specifically LDS organizations based on what we know.

What Types of Christian or Faith-Based Organizations Does Chick-fil-A Primarily Support Through Its Foundations?

Chick-fil-A, through its wonderful foundations—historically the WinShape Foundation and more recently the Chick-fil-A Foundation (including its True Inspiration Awards)—has blessed a variety of Christian and faith-based organizations. The way they give has even grown and evolved over time.

The WinShape Foundation, started by S. Truett Cathy and his wife Jeannette, is proudly a “Christian non-profit organization” with a mission to “glorify God by creating transformative experiences that move people closer to Christ”.¹⁶ Its main ministries have included Christian camps, college programs, foster homes, and marriage enrichment programs.¹⁶ In the past, WinShape supported a group of Southern Baptist ministries and other evangelical Christian groups.¹⁵ Some of its past donations went to organizations with conservative Christian views on social topics, especially marriage and family based on traditional biblical views, which did cause some public discussion.²⁵

More recently, especially after a review around 2019-2020, the Chick-fil-A Foundation has shifted its giving to focus on specific areas: education, homelessness, and hunger.¹⁹ Although It still partners with faith-based organizations, the support is often tied to their impact in these areas. The company said its partners “could include faith-based and non-faith-based charities”.¹⁹

The True Inspiration Awards, a big part of the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s giving, blesses many grassroots non-profits across the nation and even internationally. The lists of these award winners show a wonderful variety of recipients.²¹ Many are community service groups a good number are clearly Christian or have names and missions that strongly suggest a Christian heart. Think of groups like Good Samaritan Health Centers of Gwinnett, Sheridan House Family Ministries, Aslan Youth Ministries, Center of United Methodist Aid to the Community, Toronto City Mission, For The Nations Refugee Outreach, and Orange County Rescue Mission.²¹ These organizations are doing great work in healthcare, youth services support, feeding people, and helping refugees, all aligning with the foundation’s goal of making communities better.

This change shows a shift in their public giving strategy. Although the family-led WinShape Foundation kept a clear focus on Christ-centered and sometimes socially conservative Christian ministries, the Chick-fil-A Foundation now emphasizes broader societal issues. It partners with a wider range of groups, including many faith-based ones whose work aligns with these goals often without requiring the same specific doctrinal alignment as some past WinShape giving. This seems like a thoughtful move to avoid controversy while still supporting faith-inspired work that brings broad community benefits, aiming for a more positive and inclusive image of their philanthropy. It’s also great to see that “faith-based” among their supported groups includes various Christian expressions (like Methodist and general evangelical), not just Southern Baptist, showing a broader, welcoming approach in their community support focused on shared values of service.²¹

Why Might There Be Confusion or Questions About Chick-fil-A Being Mormon?

It’s understandable why some folks might wonder if Chick-fil-A has ties to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day even though its roots are clearly Southern Baptist. A big reason is probably that many people just aren’t aware of the specific denomination of Chick-fil-A’s founders. Although the company’s purpose is “To glorify God” and it runs on “Biblical principles,” its official messages don’t usually say “Southern Baptist principles”.¹ This broader Christian identity, Although welcoming to all, might leave some people guessing about the specifics.

Chick-fil-A is known far and wide for its strong values and unique ways of doing things, like closing on Sundays. Similarly, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is also known for its strong emphasis on values, distinct practices, and a family-friendly image. In our busy world, where not everyone has a deep understanding of different religious groups, people might sometimes group together any visibly “religious” and “values-driven” company with other prominent religious groups they know. If someone sees Chick-fil-A’s clear Christian character but doesn’t know its Southern Baptist background, they might mistakenly link it with another well-known, values-oriented group like the LDS especially if both are seen as socially conservative. It’s like seeing a pattern with limited information, which can lead to a mistaken connection.

Past discussions and controversies around Chick-fil-A might also play a part. The company received a lot of media attention and public debate over its leadership’s past statements and the WinShape Foundation’s donations to conservative Christian groups, especially regarding views on marriage.¹⁵ This created a strong image of Chick-fil-A as a deeply religious and socially conservative company for many. Since the LDS Church also generally holds socially conservative views on such matters, some people might incorrectly lump the two together if they aren’t aware of the specific theological and historical differences. The controversies created a strong “religious company” label, and “Mormon” might just be one guess people make if they don’t know the actual affiliation.

Lastly, where people live could sometimes lead to these assumptions. In areas where the LDS Church has a strong presence and many businesses are owned or influenced by its members, a successful company like Chick-fil-A, known for its strong religious feel, might be speculatively linked to the LDS Church by those who don’t know about its Southeastern, Southern Baptist origins. This just shows how local familiarity can sometimes shape our assumptions about things we don’t fully know, especially if they share some outward similarities.

How Does Chick-fil-A’s Christian Identity Shape Its Public Image and Its Approach to Community Engagement?

Chick-fil-A’s Christian identity is truly at the heart of its public image and greatly shapes how it blesses its communities. The company’s wonderful corporate purpose, “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A,” is the guiding light for everything they do.¹

This identity is often linked with such positive things as incredibly polite customer service—who doesn’t love hearing “my pleasure”?—and a commitment to going the “second mile” for customers, a principle Dan Cathy beautifully connected to biblical teachings like Matthew 5:41.⁶ The company’s focus on being a “fundamentally welcoming place” with friendly employees and clean restaurants has led to amazing customer satisfaction; in fact, it’s been voted America’s favorite fast-food restaurant many years in a row! 6

The call “to have a positive influence” goes far beyond just serving customers; it fuels Chick-fil-A’s amazing corporate social responsibility (CSR) and community programs. These include generous scholarships for team members, large food donations through the Chick-fil-A Shared Table™ program, support for local nonprofits fighting hunger and homelessness, disaster relief efforts, and leadership development academies for young people.²³ These actions are consistently presented as ways the company lives out its purpose and values, showing that its Christian identity is meant to result in widespread community care.

But Chick-fil-A’s strong Christian identity has also placed it in the middle of cultural conversations about faith in public life, leading to both deep loyalty from some and strong criticism from others. Past statements by its leaders and donations from its foundations to organizations with conservative views on social issues, especially LGBTQ rights, did spark a lot of debate, including calls for boycotts and even efforts to stop new restaurants from opening in some areas.¹⁵

This history shows the delicate path Chick-fil-A walks in living out its specific Christian convictions in a diverse and sometimes divided society. The company’s more recent efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I), where it states its commitment comes from its corporate purpose and treating everyone with “honor, dignity and respect,” and the shift in its charitable giving to broader, less controversial areas, suggest an ongoing effort to balance its foundational faith with a desire to be a welcoming place for everyone.² This shows a living process of staying true to its core identity while adapting its public engagement to be more inclusive.

Despite these challenges, or perhaps for some, because of them, Chick-fil-A’s open Christian identity has become a powerful and unique part of its brand. It has built incredible loyalty among many customers who share or respect its values, contributing so much to its remarkable success and special place in the business world.⁷

Conclusion: Clarity on Chick-fil-A’s Christian Roots

So, to bring it all together, Chick-fil-A was founded by S. Truett Cathy, a man of deep faith who was a devout Southern Baptist. The company’s official corporate purpose is a beautiful one: “To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A”.¹ This purpose, springing from biblical principles, has truly shaped the company’s wonderful culture and practices.

We can say with certainty that Chick-fil-A is not, and never has been, owned by or connected with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The founder’s Southern Baptist faith is quite distinct from the theology and history of the LDS Church. Important business practices, especially the decision to close all restaurants on Sundays, come directly from Truett Cathy’s Christian convictions, giving employees a day for rest, and worship if they choose.⁴

Although the company’s values are broadly Christian, its charitable giving, especially through the Chick-fil-A Foundation, has grown over time. In the past, the family’s WinShape Foundation supported clearly Christ-centered and sometimes socially conservative ministries.¹⁵ More recently, the Chick-fil-A Foundation has widened its focus to bless a broader range of community organizations, including both faith-based and secular groups, that help with needs like education, hunger, and homelessness.¹⁹

Understanding these things—the Southern Baptist heart of the founder, the Christian-based corporate purpose, the clear absence of any connection to Mormonism, and the evolution of its community outreach—helps Christian consumers make choices with confidence. It also provides an inspiring example of how faith can be lived out in the marketplace, navigating both the blessings and challenges that come with a publicly shared religious identity.
