heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally
begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from
true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he
came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became
incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was
crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On
the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he
ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his
kingdom will have no end.
We believe in
the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father
and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic
and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of
sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the
world to come. Amen.

|
Number of web pages: | Each web site can have up to and including 12 main informational pages. |
|
Number of words: | Approximate maximum of 1,200 words of text per web page. recommended. More than this will have the dual negative effects on visitors of looking too wordy and taking too long to download. People expect web sites to download quickly. There is nothing worse than waiting 30 seconds for a page to load only to find that it does not contain the information you were seeking or that you clicked the wrong link. |
|
Links: | Links to external pages, up to an average of 10 per page. |
|
Custom Graphics: | Masthead graphics on first page - custom graphic incorporating your organization logo or a picture of your church/school building.

The latter should preferably be sent in Microsoft Word format, but plain text (Notepad) will do. We will take care of converting and formatting the message to suit your Web page |
|
Major changes: | Major changes to a page, for example changing the majority of the text on a page (with the exception of the above mentioned weekly editorial/pastoral message), take the equivalent effort as creating a whole new page and is charged at that rate. |
|
Adding new informational pages: | New information pages may be added any time. This would be pages beyond the 12 pages that the "Gold Service" allows for. If you initially use only six pages of your allowed 12 pages, you may add the other six pages at any time throughout the year without paying for "extra" pages. However should you go beyond 12 pages, we will add them at a flat rate of $25.00 each. |
|
Total cost of service: | The total cost of the "Gold Service" is just $700.00 all inclusive.
