| What We Believe |
Why do I go to Church?
Having a personal relationship with God is the most
powerful and rewarding part of my life. Empowered by
faith, I can break free from the paradigm of a limited,
earthly existence and become part of eternity through
God (our Father) made possible by Jesus (Our Savior)
empowered by the Holy Spirit.
With this in mind, my Church Family is precious to me.
Together we face similar worldly issues such as
financial and family stress, job related issues, and all
the madness which fills day to day life that can limit our
vision to a very narrow and short term view. But when
we come together at St. Timothy's, we unite as a Parish
Community who embraces the joys and woes of life and
together we Worship, Love, Laugh, and Cry.
At St. Timothy's, I can reaffirm my Faith, hear God's
Word through Scripture, Sermon, and Prayer, and
Worship our Gracious Lord who perpetually gives in so
many ways.
I invite you to join us at St. Timothy's one Sunday and
experience God's love with us!

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:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from 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.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He 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.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
