Core Beliefs
By His Design Ministries is a non-denominational para-church ministry that is rooted in the Christian faith. We aim to support Christian churches and families by teaching boys and girls how to follow Jesus.
Our core beliefs adhere to both the Nicene Creed and the Apostle's Creed. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these Biblical doctrines.
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.
He 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.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic [universal] Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
Nicene Creed
I 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 Son of God,
the Only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages;
Light of Light; true God of true God;
begotten, not made;
of one essence with the Father,
by Whom all things were made;
Who for us men and for our salvation
came down from heaven,
and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary,
and became man;
And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate,
and suffered and was buried;
And the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures;
And ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of the Father;
And He shall come again with glory
to judge the living and the dead;
Whose Kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of Life,
Who proceeds from the Father;
Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified;
Who spoke by the prophets.
In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the age to come. Amen.
