what we believe

In Hole in the Rock Ministries (in affiliation with CFDM )we stand within the broad mainstream of all Christian traditions in affirming the historic creeds of the Christian faith—beginning with The Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed. We affirm a Trinitarian approach to the spiritual life, and are informed by the richness and diversity of our Christian heritage. Printed below is the Nicene Creed, dating from the 4th century, written to unify the church during a troubled time around the true nature—fully human and fully divine—of Jesus Christ, the 2nd person of the Trinity.

The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
