What We Believe

 
The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father All Governing,
creator of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God,
begotten from the Father before all time,
Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten not created,
of the same essence as the Father,
through Whom all things came into being,
Who for us men and because of our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit
and the Virgin Mary and became human.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate,
and suffered and was buried,
and rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven,
and sits on the right hand of the Father,
and will come again with glory to judge the living
and the dead.
His Kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and life-giver,
Who proceeds from the Father
Who is worshipped and glorified together
with the Father and Son,
Who spoke through the prophets;
and in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
We confess one baptism for the remission of sins.
We look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.,
Amen.


The Apostles' Creed


I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
    the Creator of heaven and earth,
    and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
    born of the Virgin Mary,
    suffered under Pontius Pilate,
    was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven
    and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
    whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church,
    the communion of saints,
    the forgiveness of sins,
    the resurrection of the body,
    and life everlasting.

Amen.
