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, 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

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 worshipped 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
