What We Believe
Kinsmen is not affiliated with any denomination or formal religious organization. However, if we were to adopt a formal belief or statement, it would closely mirror that of the Apostle’s Creed, which is a statement of faith that’s been used by Christians since the Fourth Century. It is as followed:
We believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
*“Catholic” refers to the universal church of God’s people throughout all time and from all places.
