Studies on the Apostles' Creed

One of the oldest, most treasured statements of Christian faith — a concise summary of what believers have confessed across generations, cultures, and denominations. This is more than an intellectual exercise; it's an invitation to know the God these words describe.

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead. On the third day, he rose again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Universal Church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Studies

Two study guides, and a workbook that pairs with either one.

Study Guide

Youth Edition

Written for Christian youth groups and young believers. Lesson by lesson through the Creed — each one built around a core idea, key points, discussion questions, a memory verse, an activity, and a closing prayer, alongside reflections from the Church Fathers.

Study Guide

Community Fellowship Edition

The same journey through the Creed, adapted for adults — for personal study or a fellowship group setting. Deeper reflection questions and fuller theological grounding, for those ready to go further.

Built on the Foundation

"Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone." — Ephesians 2:20
