"But we know that there is only one God, the
Father, who created everything, and we live for
him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus
Christ, through whom God made everything and
through whom we have been given life".

 Beliefs
Our
spiritual beliefs can be summed up in these creeds that we align ourselves with:
The
Apostles Creed
I believe in God,
the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. I
believe in
Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord:
He
was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was
buried.
He
descended to the dead.
On
the
third day he rose again.
He
ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again 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.
Footnote:
The word "catholic" used in both creeds simply means
"universal".

The Nicene Creed
We
believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Creator 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
truly human.
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.
