Statement of Faith

I grew up learning and reciting the Apostles’ Creed in my church. This is the foundation of what it means to be a Christian. The Apostles’ Creed is a creed of the church that is attributed to the early followers of Jesus as they began a life of living for Him. This creed is a summation of their beliefs, and, to me, spells out the faith in Jesus that I firmly stand on.

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church (which is the universal church)
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
