What We Believe

APOSTLE’S CREED

I BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic1 church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

At DPC our statement of faith is the Apostle’s Creed. However, while the Creed represents the foundation on which our conversations about the Christian faith are based it does not determine the boundaries of our ongoing conversations about what it means to follow Jesus.
