The Apostles Creed explains the beliefs of most Christians, as to Jesus and his mission. Not every church or denomination uses or follows the creed.

The Apostle's Creed is both an affirmation of what Christians believe today, but also a connection we share with all Christians in the eternal church. The Creed we recite today is the same creed that was recited a thousand years ago. The thought of that connection in Christ is breath taking.

The Apostle's Creed is a prayer that very well summarizes the entire faith of the members of the Catholic church. It is important because by reciting the prayer often, it reminds Catholics what they believe in exactly. It also is important because, as a prayer, it reinforces your belief as you say it to God.

It was required in the earlier Church to be memorized and recited by Catechumens before admission to baptism.

Catholic Answerfrom

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994 194 The Apostles' Creed is so called because it is rightly considered to be a faithful summary of the apostles' faith. It is the ancient baptismal symbol of the Church of Rome. Its great authority arises from this fact: it is "the Creed of the Roman Church, the See of Peter, the first of the apostles, to which he brought the common faith." (St. Ambrose, Expl. symb. 7, J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855}
