Foundational Protestant Prayer
Apostles' Creed
The Apostles' Creed is a historic Christian confession of faith. Many Protestant traditions use it in worship, teaching, discipleship, and confirmation as a concise summary of core Christian belief.
What is the Apostles' Creed?
The Apostles' Creed is not a prayer from the Bible itself. It is a historic statement of Christian faith that summarizes central teachings about God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, forgiveness, resurrection, and eternal life.
Why it matters in Protestant life
In Protestant settings, the Apostles' Creed may be spoken during worship, taught in catechism or confirmation, used in discipleship, or studied as a compact guide to historic Christian belief.
Some Protestant churches recite it regularly. Others use it more occasionally as a teaching tool. In either case, it helps connect present-day believers with the broad stream of Christian faith handed down through the centuries.
