Nicene CreedP God has made us his people through our Baptism into Christ.

Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith.

CWe believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker ofheaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light fromLight, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of oneBeing with the Father; through him all things were made. Forus and for our salvation he came down from heaven, wasincarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and becametruly human. For our sake he was crucified under PontiusPilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day herose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended intoheaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He willcome again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and hiskingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, whoproceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Fatherand the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spokenthrough the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic andapostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for theforgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead,and the life of the world to come. Amen.
