We believe in one God the Father, the all-powerful God, who created everything that exists. He made heaven and earth, man and woman, and all of the fish in the sea and the birds of the sky. Everything that the eyes can see, God created. God also made all the invisible things which we cannot see.
We also believe in the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Son is both fully divine and fully human. He is of the same substance as the Father and came from the Father; he is true God from true God. But He was not made by the Father. The Son came down from Heaven and took on a human form in order to save us from our sins; He was born through the power of the Holy Spirit and the vessel of the Virgin Mary. Jesus was crucified by Pontius Pilate, suffered, died, and was buried. Three days later, as the Hebrew Scriptures predicted, Jesus rose into Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. We believe that one day, Jesus will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We also believe in the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is also fully God, and we glorify and worship the Spirit with the Father and Son. The Spirit is a life-giving power which has Spoken through the prophets. Finally, we believe in one, holy, universal Church as founded by the apostles of Jesus Christ. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead and eternal life in Heaven. Amen.
