Together We Believe: A Study of the Apostles' Creed

Confess the faith with understanding as the Apostles’ Creed takes deeper root in your life and teaching.

In Together We Believe, missionary and teacher Emily Belvery leads you through the Apostles’ Creed as a clear and faithful summary of the Christian faith, grounded in Scripture and enriched by the church’s catechetical tradition. Walking through the Three Articles—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—this study helps you grasp not only what the church confesses but why it matters for faith and life.

Drawing from her mission work in East Asia, Belvery weaves real-life accounts with careful biblical study, showing how the unchanging truth of God’s Word is confessed across languages and cultures. These cross-cultural insights deepen your understanding of the Creed while reinforcing its unity with the teaching of Scripture.

Each of the six lessons is structured for both personal study and group use, combining Scripture readings, guided questions, and reflective essays. Midway through each session, participants move from learning the text to considering how it shapes daily life—identity in Christ, the forgiveness of sins, the hope of the resurrection, and the calling to bear witness.

Rooted in the church’s teaching tradition and accessible for today’s learners, this study serves both new Christians and those seeking to revisit the foundations of the faith with greater depth.

This Apostles’ Creed study helps you:

• Understand the Creed as a faithful summary of biblical teaching
• Engage Luther’s catechetical insights alongside Scripture
• Apply the confession of faith to daily Christian life
• Strengthen confidence in teaching and speaking the faith
• Lead meaningful Bible study in congregational or small-group settings

Whether used in congregational study or personal reflection, Together We Believe strengthens your understanding of the faith the church confesses and proclaims.
