Work through what the church teaches, with the Scripture behind it close at hand. Tap a reference to read it right where you are. The creeds, confessions and catechisms here are historic and faithful, and good to read, but they are not all part of what this church professes.

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 Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: he descended into hell1: the third day he rose again 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 quick2 and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost: the holy catholic3 Church: the communion of saints: the forgiveness of sins: the resurrection of the body: and the life everlasting. Amen.

1. Hell: The realm of the dead.

2. Quick: An older word for "the living," not "fast."

3. Catholic: The holy and true Christian church of all times and all places. Not the Roman Catholic Church.
