The Modern Creed 

We believe in God the Father, infinite in wisdom, power and love, whose mercy is over all His works, and whose will, is ever directed to his children’s good. 

We believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of man, the gift of the Father’s unfailing 

grace, the ground of our hope, and the promise of our deliverance from sin and death. 

We believe in the Holy Spirit as the divine presence in our lives, whereby we are kept in 

perpetual remembrance of the truth of Christ and find strength and help in time of need. 

We believe that this faith should manifest itself in the service of love as set forth in the 

example of our blessed Lord, to the end that the kingdom of God may come upon the earth. 

Amen.

The Apostle’s 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. 

The third day, He arose from the dead, He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand 

of 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.
