Synopsis

CULTURE HAS CHANGED. CHURCH BELIEFS SHOULDN'T.

It’s easy for our culture of individuality and innovation to shape the way we think about the church. With so many questions, opinions, and interpretations among people today—even within the church—what should we all agree on as essential to Christian faith?

For more than 1,600 years the Apostles’ Creed has united the church around core Christian doctrines as revealed in Scripture. This historic confession points us to the foundational beliefs of our faith and the life-changing truth of the gospel.

The Apostles’ Creed is a 12-week Bible study that takes students into the foundations of Christianity for a closer look at what we believe. This study uses the Apostles’ Creed to help students grow in their understanding of the Christian faith, live as disciples of Christ, and experience a profound sense of belonging within the kingdom of God.

Author:
MATT CHANDLER serves as the lead pastor of teaching at The Village Church in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. He came to The Village in December 2002 and describes his tenure as a replanting effort to change the theological and philosophical culture of the congregation.

Alongside his current role as lead pastor, Matt is involved in church-planting efforts both locally and internationally through The Village, as well as in various strategic partnerships. Prior to accepting the pastorate at The Village, Matt had a vibrant itinerant ministry for more than 10 years that gave him the opportunity to speak to thousands of people in America and abroad about the glory of God and the beauty of Jesus.

Matt is the author of To Live Is Christ to Die is Gain, Mingling of Souls, and The Explicit Gospel Bible Study (LifeWay, 2012). He’s also a coauthor of Creature of the Word (LifeWay, 2012).

Other than knowing Jesus, Matt’s greatest joy is being married to Lauren and being the dad to their three children, Audrey, Reid, and Norah.
