The Apostles’ Creed — Explained for Kids
The Apostles’ Creed is a short summary of what Christians believe. It’s like the ‘family story’ of our faith.
The Creed is often used during baptism and the Rosary, and emphasizes: Belief in God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit. The birth, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. The communion of saints, forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
What We Believe — In Simple Words
God Made Everything
God made everything — the sky, the earth, animals, people — and He loves us like a perfect Father.
Jesus Is God’s Son
He came to show us how much God loves us. Jesus was born in a special way. The Holy Spirit made it happen, and Mary was His mother.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God living inside us, helping us choose good and stay close to Him.
He Beat Death
Jesus died because He loves us. He came back to life on Easter and beat death.
Our Big Family
We belong to a big family — the Church — with people on earth and in heaven who love God. God always forgives us when we are sorry.
Forever with God
One day Jesus will come again to make everything right. God will make our bodies new again, and we will live with Him forever in heaven.
