Roosevelt Baptist Church is a church under the lordship of King Jesus. This church believes that the Scriptures are its final authority in faith and practice. Additionally, this church confesses the Nicene Creed as accurate representations of the essential doctrines of the Scripture’s teaching. Further, we align ourselves with Gospel-Centered and Baptistic Church Practices the foundational doctrines within The Nicene Creed represent what we believe to be core elements of biblical teaching. We expect all members of Roosevelt Baptist Church to confess these doctrines.

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God,

the Father Almighty, 

Maker of Heaven and Earth, 

of all things visible and invisible.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, 

the only begotten Son of God,

begotten from the Father before all worlds

God from God

Light from Light

true God from true God

begotten, not made;

of the same Being as the Father;

through Him all things were made. 

For us and for our salvation 

He came down from heaven, 

He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and from the Virgin Mary 

and became truly human. 

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. 

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,

who with the Father and the Son 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 forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. 

Amen.
