Apostle's Creed
Faith statement recited
The Apostle's Creed is a statement of Christian belief, traditionally attributed to the twelve apostles though composed later.
It affirms faith in God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, along with core doctrines: the virgin birth, crucifixion, resurrection, and final judgment.
Recited in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox worship, it remains one of Christianity's most widely used professions of faith.
