WHAT WE BELIEVE

“NICENE-CONSTANTINOPOLITAN CREED”
Also known as
THE CREED – SYMBOL OF FAITH – PROFESSION OF FAITH

The Creed

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all
that is seen and unseen. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of
God, eternally begotten of the Father. Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were
made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven: by the
power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For
our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was
buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; He
ascended into heaven and is seated at the right of the Father. He will come
again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
I 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 worshipped and
glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic,
and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I
look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
