Statement of Faith
The Transforming Center affirms the Apostles’ Creed as a historic expression of Christian faith, and also receives with gratitude the United Church of Canada’s new creed as a faithful, contemporary witness to the same living God. Rooted in the historic faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed, this new creed is a prayerful and timely articulation of Christian faith for our present moment—a Spirit-led, contemporary expression that speaks to today’s church and world as all creeds are intended to do.
A New Creed
We are not alone,
we live in God's world.
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.
to celebrate God's presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
God is with us.
We are not alone.

The Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and Earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, the Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
And was 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 catholic Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.
