VIA Logo_edited.jpg

As an Anglican Church, Via affirms the 39 articles recorded in the Book of Common Prayer written by Reformer, Thomas Cranmer. As a part of the Anglican Church of North American, Via also affirms the Jerusalem Declaration of 2008.

THE APOSTLE'S CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

​

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand

of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

​

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

​

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 from the

Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man. 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 worshipped 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.
