Our faith teaches us that for Gods faithful people life is changed, not ended; when the body of our earthly dwelling lies in death we gain everlasting dwelling place in heaven.

All: I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day 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. I 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 adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
