*Affirmation of Faith The Apostles’ Creed

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 church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

the glory, forever. Amen.
