The Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed are the historic summaries of the Christian faith embraced by the worldwide Church for many centuries. These creeds arose in the early centuries of Christianity to guard the truth, clarify the Church’s confession of the Triune God, and distinguish biblical doctrine from error. Together they give a clear, orderly statement of what Christians have always believed about the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and they remain trusted guides for teaching, worship, and unity in the faith.
