BELIEFS

We Believe in Jesus...

Lot's of people believe lots of things about Jesus...we hold to essential, Christian orthodoxy as outlined in the two most important and historic creeds (APOSTLE'S and NICENE).

We have other theological distinctives that make us who we are and love to inform, discuss and dialogue around those ideas…quarterly we host a "Brewing Dialogues" event where we look at some of the more nuanced and often controversial subjects in Christian faith (such as Women in the Bible, Spiritual Gifts, Eschatology, etc.) and have round table discussions about them. Our pastoral team is always ready and excited to sit down and discuss any issues of belief with you too…just let us know when and where and we will get the coffee:)


Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of   heaven and earth.


I 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.


I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.


Amen.



NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.


And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father.


Through him all things were made.


For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human.


He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.


He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.


He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead.


His kingdom will never end.


And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life.


He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.


He spoke through the prophets.


We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.


We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.


We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come.


Amen.
