*Confession of Faith - The Nicene Creed
Leader: Christian, what do you believe?
People: “We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God
from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not
made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were
made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he
became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was
made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered
and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the
Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead.
His kingdom will never end. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the
Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and
with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke
through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic
church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look
forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to
come. Amen.”
