The following questions are based on the 12 articles of the Apostle's Creed. These questions are meant to be used as an assessment of what you already know and understand about Christ and His Church. They are also meant to indentify and correct any misunderstandings about Christ and His Church. Please answer each question with 1-2 sentences if possible.

If you do not know what the question is asking or do not know the answer, please do not guess, just leave it blank and that question will be covered during your self-study. Please indicate which questions are of particular interest or importance to you, and those will be highlighted in your self-study.
