about our church
Our Creed
The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed (Symbol of Faith)
We believe in one God the Father almighty, maker of heaven, earth, and all things visible and invisible. By Him all things were made, and Without Him was not anything in heaven or earth made.
We believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who for us men and for our salivation came down from heaven, was made man and was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and from the holy Virgin Mary. He became man, was crucified for our sakes in the days of Pontius Pilate, suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead. On the third day, as was written in the holy scriptures, ascended in glory into heaven, sat at the right hand of His Father, and will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. There is no end of His reign.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the life-giving God, who proceeded from the Father and who spoke by the prophets. We worship and glorify Him with the Father and the Son.
We believe in one holy, universal, apostolic Church, and we believe in one baptism for the remission of sins and wait for the resurrection from the dead and the life to come, world without end. Amen!
ጸሎተ ሃይማኖት
ሁሉን በያዘ ሰማይንና ምድርን የሚታየውንና የማይታየውን በፈጠረ በአንድ አምላክ በእግዚአብሔር አብ እናምናለን።
ዓለም ሳይፈጠር ከእርሱ ጋር በነበረ የአብ አንድ ልጅ በሚሆን በአንድ ጌታ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ እናምናለን።
ከብርሃን የተገኘ ብርሃን፤ ከእውነተኛ አምላክ የተገኘ አምላክ፤ የተፈጠረ ያይደለ የተወለደ፤ በመለኮቱ ከአብ ጋር የሚተካከል።
ሁሉ በእርሱ ሆነ ያለ እርሱ ምንም ምን የሆነ የለም፤በሰማይም ያለ በምድርም ያለ።
ስለ እኛ ስለ ሰዎች ስለመዳናችን ከሰማይ ወረደ። በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ግብር ከቅድስት ድንግል ማርያም ፈጽሞ ሰው ሆነ።
ሰው ሆኖ በጰንጤናዊው በጲላጦስ ዘመን ስለእኛ ተሰቀለ፤ታመመ፤ ሞተ፤ ተቀበረ፤ በሦስተኛውም ቀን ከሙታን ተለይቶ ተነሣ፤ በቅዱሳት መጻሕፍት እንደተጻፈ።
በክብር ወደ ሰማይ ዐረገ፤ በአባቱም ቀኝ ተቀመጠ።ዳግመኛም ሕያዋንንና ሙታንንም ይገዛ ዘንድ በጌትነት ይመጣል።ለመንግሥቱም ፍጻሜ የለውም።
ጌታ ማኅየዊ በሚሆን ከአብ በሰረፀ በመንፈስ ቅዱስም እናምናለን፤ እንሰግድለት እናመሰግነውም ዘንድ ከአብና ከወልድ ጋር በነቢያት የተናገረ።
ከሁሉ በላይ በምትሆን ሐዋርያት በሰበሰብዋት በአንዲት ቅድስት ቤተ ክርስቲያን እናምናለን።
