Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God and the final authority in matters of faith and practice. Our primary desire is to help our readers to develop a personal, obedient love relationship with Jesus Christ. We also seek to help today’s Christians to learn about the early Church—what it believed and how it lived. Our interest in the early church is not merely academic. Rather, our call is for today’s church to return to the simple faith, love, and obedience of the primitive church.
We hold to the two earliest creeds put forth by the church, generally known today as the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed:
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator 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, died and was buried. He descended to Hades, on the third day rose again from the dead, ascended to heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic [or universal] church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten of His Father, of the substance of the Father, God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made, both that are in heaven and in earth; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, was incarnate and was made man. He suffered and the third day he rose again, and ascended into heaven. And he shall come again to judge both the living and the dead. And we believe in the Holy Spirit.
