The 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,
He descended into hell;
the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand o f 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;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Amen

A New Creed
We are not alone, we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, (new since 1969)
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church,
to celebrated God’s presence,
to live in respect in creation (added since 1969)
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our Judge and our Hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us.
We are not alone. Thanks be to God.

The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
and 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 men, 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 for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried,
and the third day he rose again according to scriptures,
and ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand side of the Father.
And he shall come again in glory
to judge both the quick and the dead:
Whose kingdome shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord and giver of life,
who proceedeth from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son together
is worshipped and glorified,
who spake 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.
