THE SCRIPTURES
The Bible is God's written Word, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit.
It bears unerring witness to Jesus Christ, the living Word.
As attested by the early church and subsequent councils,
it is the trustworthy record of God's revelation,
completely truthful in all it affirms.
It has been faithfully preserved and proves itself true in human experience.
The Scriptures have come to us through human authors who wrote,
as God moved them, in the languages and literary forms of their times.
God continues, by the illumination of the Holy Spirit,
to speak through this Word to each generation and culture.
The Bible has authority over all human life. It teaches the truth about God,
His creation, His people, His one and only Son, and the destiny of humankind.
It also teaches the way of salvation and the life of faith.
Whatever is not found in the Bible nor can be proved by it is not
to be required as an article of belief or as necessary to salvation.
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven 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 from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
