Statement of Faith: The Apostles' Creed
We 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; He descended into hades; on the third day He rose again from the
dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God, the Father
Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
We
believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus
is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will
be saved. Romans 10:9
