We believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
We believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy world-wide church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
We believe in living daily according to the teaching and example of Jesus,
by loving the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind,
by loving our neighbor as ourself,
by showing mercy toward others,
by being at peace with all people,
by hungering and thirsting for righteousness,
by doing right by God and others.
