The Orthodox faith is the unchanged
faith of the Apostolic Church, the church
of the seven ecumenical councils and, as
such, we believe it to be the true
Christian faith. Orthodoxy, alone in
Christendom, has not accepted new
theological fads or ideas but keeps the
teachings of the Christ, His Apostles and
the Church Fathers in a pure and
unadulterated form. Orthodoxy, the “one
thing needful”, is the sure road to
salvation in Christ Jesus.

The Orthodox
Christian Faith
What we believe...
The Nicene Creed, established at the First Ecumenical Council in Nicea
in 325 AD, is the basic statement of faith of the Orthodox Church, which
has preserved and confessed it unchanged since the Fourth Century.
I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator 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 created, of one essence with the Father through Whom all things
were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from
heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and
became man.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried.
And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended
into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
And He will come again with glory to judge the living and dead. His
kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from
the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshipped and
glorified, Who spoke through the prophets. In one, holy, catholic, and
apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the
resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come. Amen.
