Traditionally-Grounded
We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the
Church across time and space. We endorse the form and practices of
the universal Church that are consistent with Scripture,
particularly the office of the ministry and the tradition of worship
under Word and Sacrament. We seek dialogue and fellowship with other
Lutheran churches and with faithful Christians of other confessions.
I believe in one God, the 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 worlds, God of God, Light of
Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one
substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us
men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate
by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was
crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was
buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures;
and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the
Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the quick and
the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who
proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the
Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets.
And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I
acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for
the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
