Sharing God's Love
The
Nicene Creed
We
believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all
that is, seen and unseen.
We
believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of
the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten,
not made, of one Being with the Father. Through
him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the virgin Mary, and
was made man. For our sake he was
crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he
ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his
kingdom will have no end.
We
believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the
Father and the Son. With the Father
and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to
come. Amen.
