What is a Creed?
The word creed comes from the Latin credo — “I believe.” Creeds are concise statements of essential Christian doctrine, developed by the Church to summarize Scripture, guard against heresy, and unite believers in common confession. They are not additions to Scripture, but faithful summaries of what Scripture teaches. As the Apostle Paul urged Timothy: “Guard the good deposit entrusted to you.” (2 Timothy 1:14)
