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 essence 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, 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.

Amen.

We believe that genuine grace is given in the sacraments of the church, most especially in Baptism and Holy Communion/Eucharist. These are not mere signs.

We believe that the Eucharist is the height of our worship and we confess the Real Presence of Jesus in this Holy Mystery, in which we partake of the body and blood, and thus the true divine life of Jesus, nourishing our soul on all He accomplishes for us. We do believe that only those who have put their faith in Jesus and been baptized should participate in this Holy Mystery.

We believe that Baptism is a true work of God and a means of grace to and for us, illuminating us, cleansing us, bringing us into the fullness of the faith, and sealing us in the family of faith, the Church.

Baptism of Infants is a historic church tradition that, for those who choose to partake, we will celebrate with them.

We believe in the laying on of hands in prayer for healing and for the impartation of the Holy Spirit as is the practice of the Scriptures.

We believe that confession with an ordained minister is valuable for the Christian as work of the church but is not demanded.

We believe in the ongoing presence of the gifts of the Spirit.
