We believe in one God,
\nthe Father almighty,
\nmaker of heaven and earth,
\nof all things visible and invisible.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
\nthe only Son of God,
\nbegotten from the Father before all ages,
\nGod from God,
\nLight from Light,
\ntrue God from true God,
\nbegotten, not made;
\nof the same essence as the Father.
\nThrough him all things were made.
\nFor us and for our salvation
\nhe came down from heaven;
\nhe became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary,
\nand was made human.
\nHe was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate;
\nhe suffered and was buried.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures.
\nHe ascended to heaven
\nand is seated at the right hand of the Father.
\nHe will come again with glory
\nto judge the living and the dead.
\nHis kingdom will never end.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
And we believe in the Holy Spirit,
\nthe Lord, the giver of life.
\nHe proceeds from the Father and the Son,
\nand with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.
\nHe spoke through the prophets.
\nWe believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
\nWe affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
\nWe look forward to the resurrection of the dead,
\nand to life in the world to come. Amen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default” offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner top_padding_phone=”20″ bottom_margin_phone=”5%” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” font_color=”#ffffff” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” gradient_type=”default” delay=”200″][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” stagger_animation=”true” content_alignment=”center” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”The Apostles’ Creed”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]\n
