Four Marks of the True Church

(Also, “Marks of the Church”)

The Four Marks describe a belief in Christendom that the body of Christ—the church—is characterized by four “marks” or distinctives. These marks are found in the early church and found their way into the Creed of Constantinople in 381, “‘[We believe] In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.’”
1) One: this describes the unity of the body of Christ. It is not many, but one.
2) Holy: This describes its nature as being “set apart” unto God, his possession. It also describes its aspiration to be like God in its character.
3) Catholic (universal): this describes its universality. The body of Christ is not limited to a time, place, race, or culture.
4) Apostolic: This describes its origin and beliefs. The church’s teaching are apostolic in that they find their roots in the teachings of the Apostles.
