Statement of Faith
HighRidge Church has chosen the Nicene Creed as our statement of faith. This creed was established in the fourth century when Christians came together and composed this formative and definitive statement. The Nicene Creed has stood the test of time as a standard of what Christians across all practices and denominations believe.
It is more than a mere list of doctrinal beliefs; it is a confession of worship that defines us as the people of God and draws us together into the life-giving relationship we have with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
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 worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy universal 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.
