Christians have formulated a number of statements of [[faith]] that seek to put their beliefs in a nutshell. In this sense, perhaps the earliest statement of [[Christian]] faith is that Jesus is Lord. The most widely used creed is probably the [[Nicene Creed]].
The Creeds of the Church have traditionally been the most important summaries of the Christian faith. There are also those who don't use a traditional creed, but say "No Creed but Christ". Their goal is to be as non-denominational as possible.
The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, sometimes just called the [[Nicene Creed]], is perhaps the most important of the various creeds. Another important creed is the [[Apostles' Creed]]. A later Creed, the [[Athanasian Creed]], is also used in some Western churches.
