Our church does something every Sunday that would have been unthinkable in most non-denominational evangelical congregations 20 years ago.
We recite the Nicene Creed.

But incorporating this liturgical element in our worship turns out to be part of a larger trend. Christianity Today talked to more than a dozen Christian leaders about why the ancient creed is resonating with a new generation. You’ll learn how the creed is connecting contemporary believers to Christians of the past and facilitating a powerful corporate way of worship. Read: How the Nicene Creed Became Cool Again.
