Apostles’ Creed
An ecumenical symbol of faith and summary of foundational Christian beliefs.
About
Our foundation:
We believe that God has revealed Himself to man. God’s revealed word was written down by the prophets and apostles and entrusted to the Church to be a blessing to the world. In it He has given us the words of eternal life and comfort for all who call on the name of Jesus Christ. As such, the 66 books of the Old and New Testament are our highest authority for what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man. We believe that the truths of the Bible can be understood and faithfully summarized. Our creeds and confessions are historic and faithful summaries of the truths in the Bible. They serve us as a means to preserve Biblical Doctrine, teach our children, and hold everyone (especially teachers) accountable to God’s authoritative Word.
Creeds
Nicene Creed
A statement of belief focused on Trinitarian doctrine and Christology.
Athanasian Creed
A statement of the early church in opposition to certain heresies, especially Arianism.
Three Forms of Unity
Heidelberg Catechism
The Heidelberg Catechism, written in 1563, is a remarkably warm-hearted and personalized confession of faith.
Belgic Confession
The Belgic Confession, written in 1561, takes pains to point out the continuity of Reformed belief with that of the ancient Christian creeds.
Canons of Dort
The Canons of Dort is a very finely tuned piece of theological writing, ably delineating a biblically Reformed perspective on matters central to Christian life and experience.
Westminster Standards
As a church we also subscribe and use the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms
