Apostles’ Creed

I BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic1 church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.


  1. In this context we hold that, “catholic” does not mean either Roman Catholic or Universalism. It means that Christ’s people are in every “tribe, kindred, language and people” (Rev. 14:6) and that there is “one Lord, one faith, one baptism”. (Eph 4:5)
