We are an evangelical free church and essentially share the faith of all Christians in the world. As human beings, we are not capable of reaching God’s good standard on our own and being allowed to be together with him again here on earth and in eternity. This separates us from God, the source of all life, forever. This separation from life means death. So we need help to be with him again. The problem is that no one who is separated from God can “pay” for someone else. It would be like someone having millions in debt to a bank and someone else coming in to pay for that debt. But the other would be just as indebted. The bank would rightly say: Pay back your own debt before you stand up for someone else!

Jesus came to overcome precisely this separation. As the only person who has lived entirely according to God’s standard, he is completely united with him. There is no separation, no guilt between him and his father. So he was in a position to pay for others – and he did. With the price that separation from God (from the source of life) means: with death – on the cross! But this death had no right to keep him, because he could not bring any charges against him. He was the first person to return from the dead and is now reunited with God. He offers this payment to every person who wants to return to God and live according to God’s good standards (which are described in the Bible ). The community of these people is called Christians.

That’s the kind of community we are. Together with millions of Christians around the world, we believe in salvation and reunification through Jesus’ actions on the cross. We live this faith together and invite everyone to ask us about it, discuss it with us, drop by and explore God’s plans for our lives.

The Bible is the source that God has given us to get to know him again. We do not claim to have a specific or solely correct doctrine, but we are learners in relationship with Jesus, the Spirit of God and the Father himself. We are open to correction and seek fellowship with other Christians or non-Christians.
