Together We Believe: A Study of the Apostles' Creed

The Apostles’ Creed. You repeat it week after week in church, but have you stopped to contemplate the words you’re speaking? Better yet, have you considered how the Apostles’ Creed is used in the mission field to speak Christ’s love and God’s truth to the world? Embark on a cross-cultural journey of The Apostles' Creed from the mission field in Asia all the way to your home. 

Knowing God and having a personal relationship with Him is crucial to developing your faith. That includes learning His Word in your native language. As author Emily Belvery worked in the mission field, it was pivotal for her to learn how to speak this foundational statement of faith in the heart language of the people she was reaching out to. As she studied, she renewed her appreciation and joy for the Apostles' Creed.

For lifelong Christians, and especially those new to the Christian faith, this short and simple study will show you those same joys of confessing the basic truths of your faith.

Included in your study:

• 6 Chapters for Leaders and Participants
• Outline for Group Discussion
• Room for Notes
• Real-Life Application from Scripture
• Closing Prayer and Hymn

"Emily Belvery has produced a Scripture-rich study of the Apostles’ Creed. Both new and reviewing Christians will welcome it as a tool to nurture their faith and life in Christ, increasing their zeal to share the Gospel with others. . . These essays reveal how the Holy Spirit used Emily as a missionary in Taiwan to speak apostolic truth substantively, humbly, and compassionately, reaching across cultural and religious canyons."
