The Gospel - The Good News

The Creeds
The creeds are fundamental declarations that summarize and protect the Christian faith, guiding the Church in the correct interpretation of Scripture and in defense against false doctrines. The historic Church recognizes four orthodox creeds: the Apostles’, the Nicene, the Chalcedonian, and the Athanasian. These creeds remain a firm foundation for proclaiming, teaching, and living the truth revealed by God.

The Apostle's Creed - God The Father
The Apostles’ Creed affirms the fundamental truths of Christianity, beginning with faith in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. This triune God is loving, holy, and near to us as Father, fully revealed in Jesus Christ. Through the creeds, the Church maintains its faithful doctrine and clearly proclaims who God is and what He has done for humanity.

The Apostle's Creed - Jesus Christ
This section of the Apostles’ Creed affirms the divinity, humanity, and lordship of Jesus Christ, the only Son of God. It confesses that He was conceived supernaturally by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, fully assuming human nature without ceasing to be God. To recognize Jesus as Lord means to surrender our entire life to Him in obedience, faith, and devotion.

The Apostle's Creed - Jesus Christ Pt. 2
This section of the Creed explains the divine and human union in the person of Christ, affirming His real incarnation and suffering as the means of redemption. The Nicene Creed was a strong doctrinal response against heresies that denied these truths and clearly defended the divinity of Jesus. Finally, it emphasizes that the cross is the center of our faith and a symbol of surrender, humility, and redeeming love.

The Apostle's Creed - Jesus Christ Pt. 4
The Apostles’ Creed asserts Christ’s resurrection, His ascension, His position of authority at the right hand of the Father, and His glorious return to judge the living and the dead. Jesus’ resurrection was unique: carried out by His own power, in a glorified and incorruptible body, and is the guarantee of our future resurrection. Now exalted in heaven, He intercedes for us as King and High Priest, and He will return in glory to fulfill the hope of His Church.

The Apostle's Creed - Judgement
The Creed affirms that Christ will come to judge the living and the dead, and this judgment will be universal, just, and based on the works of each person. The wicked will receive condemnation, the righteous will be examined, and some sanctified will not be judged. God calls us to prepare ourselves through good works, repentance, mercy, and love, living in obedience while the Church guards the faith and guides toward restoration.
