The Minister: Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is the one true church, Apostolic and Universal, whose Holy Faith let us now reverently and sincerely declare:
The Minister and People: We believe in God the Father, infinite in wisdom, power and love, whose mercy is overall. His works, and whose will is ever directed to His children’s good.
We believe in Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of man, the gift of the Father’s unfailing grace, the ground of our hope and the promise of our deliverance from sin and death.
We believe in the Holy Spirit as the Divine Presence in our lives, whereby we are kept in perpetual remembrance of the truth of Christ and find strength and help in time of need.
We believe that this faith should manifest itself in the service of love as set forth in the example of our blessed Lord, to the end that the Kingdom of God may come upon the earth. Amen.
