The Apostles’ Creed
We believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of Heaven and Earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
The third day, He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* Church,
the communion of the saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
*referring to the whole church in all times and places rather than to any specific branch of Christianity.
