The Apostles' Creed is widely used by a number of Protestant denominations for both services and theological education, most visibly by the Lutheran and Anglican churches.

- I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord.
- He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
- He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
- He descended into hell.
- 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.

- The holy catholic Church,
- The communion of saints,
- The forgiveness of sins,
- The resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
