Our Statement of Faith is an ancient one, dating back to the first two ecumenical Church councils held in 325 AD and 381 AD. It is known as the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed (named after the councils which were held in Nicea and Constantinople.) Today it is simply called the Nicene Creed and we stand with Christians throughout the world and throughout the ages in this belief. We recite it each Sunday as part of our worship.
This is the Nicene Creed. This is what we believe:
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten 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, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and 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, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who 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.
I’m sure by now, you have a long list of your core values and beliefs. This is where you can share those with your readers. Once visitors have the logistics down (who you are, where you meet, etc.) they’ll most likely come here to learn more about what you believe. As with all pages, you can insert blocks anywhere on the page. Below is an example of a quote block, which can be used to highlight a related scripture!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
“To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.””
Ah yeah…You’re almost done now! Feel free to write as much or as little as you need to effectively tell your story. This page can handle it all!
“Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”
