The Nicene Creed
We believe Church history is important. Therefore, we look to our past to build guardrails along our Biblical path as we wrestle with the teachings of the Nicene Creed.
First adopted in A.D. 325 at the Council of Nicea and finalized in A.D.381 at the Council of Constantinople, this creed serves as a defense of the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ. While this creed isn’t in the Bible, it serves as an excellent summary of the Christian faith, while it also reminds us of God’s zealous love for us! What can be better?
We strongly encourage you to prayerfully read through the Nicene Creed at least twice per year to help stoke the zealous fire of your faith. We have the creed in its entirety available for you to read for below.
THE NICENE CREED
A.D. 325
Historical Note: The Nicene Creed was first adopted in A.D. 325 at the Council of Nicea. Roman Emperor, Constantine, convened the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify the Christian church with one doctrine, especially on the theological issues of the Trinity and the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ.
