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 

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.
