Affirmation of Faith: The Apostles’ Creed  [Congregation will read the text together.]

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

From there he will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy universal church; the communion of saints;

the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.
