I believe in God, the creator of heaven and earth,
Who gave man and woman free will
And entrusted this precious world to us.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his Son, our Lord,
Who was born in a manger by Mary,
A woman of humble beginnings.
Refusing to seek power,
And turning away the sword,
He died for us, the Lamb of God.
He descended into the darkest of all places,
But rose again on the third day,
Bringing life and hope to all.
I believe in Christ’s humble spirit
Conceiving the holy, apostolic and universal church,
which is among us and beyond us, before us and after us.
I believe in a church comprised of sinners and saints,
imperfect and in need of grace,
yet blessed – the body of Christ.
I believe in the forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
