The Nicene Creed

About the Creed

The Nicene Creed was first adopted by church leaders in 325 at the First Council of Nicaea. Later that century, at the Council of Constantinople (381) some minor changes were made and it was again reaffirmed at the Council of Chalcedon (451). This ecumenical creed is the most widely accepted creed in the Christian faith and it is an essential part of the doctrine and liturgy of Lutheran churches. Historically it has been used at Holy Communion on Sundays and major feasts.

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, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. 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, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who 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.

Worship and building updates

May 19, 2022

“Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”   Philippians 2:4

In response to the CDC revising their Covid-19 reporting, the Church Council of St. John has updated our metrics to align with theirs. As long as the Covid-19 Community Levels remain at or below “Medium” as reported on the CDC website, https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view masking is optional and Holy Communion will be celebrated with participants coming up to the altar to receive the elements. Prepackaged wafer/juice will continue to be available as you enter the sanctuary to be consumed in your pew for those who are more comfortable doing so.

The 8:00 a.m. (9:00am summer) service will be livestreamed and available on our YouTube channel. 

The Council continues to review information from health officials and will modify our guidelines and worship services as is appropriate.
