At Pilgrim, we believe that faith is lived out in relationship with a living, active God, which means it’s pretty hard to reduce to words on a page. We do our best to share what we learn along the way in gatherings, meals, in life lived together. That said, we connect with and affirm the historic statements of faith expressed by the people of God. Creeds like the Nicene Creed connect us with the many people who have experienced life in Jesus throughout the centuries and around the world.

The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father. And he will come again in glory to judge both the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets. And we believe in one holy universal and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Finally, the Pilgrim Vineyard Church is a member church of the Vineyard USA and we affirm the Vineyard’s 5 Core Values.
