Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, 
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;
by whom all things were made;
who for us and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered and was buried;
and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures,
and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father;
and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified;
who spoke by the prophets;
and we believe in one holy catholic* and apostolic church;
we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;
and we look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen

* "catholic" means universal, not Roman Catholic

Apostles’ Creed

The Apostles' Creed - Although not written by the apostles, the Apostles' Creed is a concise summary of their teaching. It originated as a baptismal confession, probably in the second century, and developed into its present form by the sixth or seventh century.

Nicene Creed

The Nicene Creed - The Nicene Creed originated at the Council of Nicea (325), and an expanded form was adopted by the Council of Chalcedon (451). It was formulated to answer heresies that denied the biblical doctrine of the Trinity and the person of Christ.

Unity In Essentials

How can we keep the gospel front and center? How do we avoid majoring on the minors? Unity in essentials, liberty in non-essentials, charity in all.

Confession of Faith

The Westminster Confession of Faith is perhaps the most notable expression of the truths of the Bible in creedal form.
