The Sparkle Creed is an affirmation of transgender ideology used in some theologically liberal churches, primarily in the United States. The Sparkle Creed is usually spoken in place of a traditional creed, such as the Apostles’ Creed or the Nicene Creed. The Sparkle Creed is most commonly recited in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), a theologically and socially liberal denomination that has rejected the inerrancy of Scripture and departed from biblical teachings on gender and marriage.

The Sparkle Creed is nothing like the ancient, historic creeds. It affirms sinful behavior, reassigns roles within the Trinity, and anachronistically places modern categories onto ancient Christian doctrines. Rather than express faithfulness to the truths found in Scripture, the Sparkle Creed advances transgender ideology within the church. It is nothing short of a blasphemous decree.
The early church “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42). The Sparkle Creed has nothing to do with the apostles’ teaching and is in fact far from it. Christians should not recite the Sparkle Creed or be involved in a church that recites it. It is much more profitable to study and recite the traditional church creeds alongside Scripture.
