The Nicene Creed is our confession of Faith, drawn up by the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea, 325 AD, and the Second Ecumenical Council in Constantinople, 381 AD. It is the expression of our fundamental beliefs as Orthodox Christians.

Like the Orthodox Church, it too has remained unchanged.

I believe in one God, Father, Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth and of all things visible and invisible.

And in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Only-Begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all Ages. Light of Light, True God of True God, begotten not made, One in essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven, and was incarnated by the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became Man. And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried. And rose on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; Who spoke by the Prophets.

In One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge One Baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead. And the life of the age to come. Amen.
