Rooted in the Bible
Our faith is rooted in the Bible. We confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, and we speak the good news that Jesus has overcome death and offers us the gift of life, both now and
for all eternity. Our faith is expressed in the historic Nicene Creed and such Reformation standards as the Heidelberg
Catechism.

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.

Aberdeen
Church is affiliated with the Reformed Church in America.
The Reformed Church in America (RCA) is a fellowship of conregations
called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to be the very presence of Jesus Christ in the world. Our shared task
is to equip cognregations for ministry- a thousand churches in a million ways doing one thing- following Christ in mission,
in a lost and broken world so loved by God.
The word "Reformed" takes its meaning from the great protestant
Reformation of the 1500's when men like John Calvin and Martin Luther called for a revival and renewal in the church that
focused on the centrality of the Bible and the message of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone.
