AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: THE APOSTLES'
CREED, TRADITIONAL VERSION
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried, the third day
he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right
hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge
the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic
(universal) church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
We may not all believe exactly
the same thing, but the people of The United Methodist Church believe
in God and each other. If you're searching for something to believe
in, our hearts, our minds, and our doors are always open.
