Our Beliefs
Our beliefs are best expressed by the Church's foundational creeds: the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.
​
The term “creed” comes from the Latin credo, meaning “I believe.” They are statements of our fundamental beliefs about God. In reciting and affirming these creeds, we join Christians worldwide and throughout the ages in affirming our faith in the one God who creates, redeems, and sanctifies us.
