An Invitation to a Relationship
Exploring the Heart, Scriptures, and Living Experience of Christian Belief reveals profound connections that shape our Faith.
The Heart of Christianity: Foundational Truths
At its core, the Christian Faith centers on key beliefs that define God’s nature, humanity’s purpose, and God’s plan for salvation.
The Christian Faith confesses one God in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They are eternally united, undivided, and co-equal, as revealed in the Holy Tradition, Scripture, and the Nicene Creed.
Jesus Christ is the incarnate Son and Word of God, fully divine and fully human, begotten of the Father before all ages, who was born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered, was crucified, died, and rose from the dead on the third day, destroying Death by Death, and grants Eternal Life to all who follow Him in Faith.
Salvation is a gift from God, received by Grace through Faith. It is lived out through the Church’s Sacraments, Prayer, and Repentance. God transforms us, uniting us with Himself and granting us Eternal Life.
The Holy Bible: God's Revelation to Humanity
The Bible is received as the Word of God, given through the Holy Spirit over many centuries. It contains the Old and New Testaments, which together reveal God's love for humanity and His plan for salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ. Through the Holy Scriptures, believers are invited to grow closer to God and to find guidance, comfort, and hope at every step of their lives.
"The Scriptures were not provided to us merely for the sake of information; they were given to inspire our transformation."
St. John Chrysostom
a renowned early Church Father and Archbishop of Constantinople
Jesus Christ: Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ is at the core of the Christian Faith. He is the Son of God, born of the Virgin Mary and became truly man while remaining truly God. Throughout His life, He showed perfect obedience to the Will of the Father and taught us about Love, Forgiveness, and the coming of God’s Kingdom. Through His crucifixion and Resurrection, Christ conquers Sin and Death, offering forgiveness and Eternal Life to all who unite with Him in Faith.
Find your connection with God
Prayer is a fundamental practice in Christianity, serving as a means of communication, connection, and communion with God.
Communication with God
Prayer is a way for individuals to speak directly to God, expressing their thoughts, feelings, needs, and gratitude.
Seeking Guidance and Strength
Through prayer, Christians seek God's guidance, wisdom, and strength to navigate life's challenges and make decisions.
Experiencing God's Presence
Prayer can be a deeply personal and spiritual experience, fostering a sense of God's presence, comfort, and peace.
The Old and New Testament: One Story, Two Parts
The Holy Bible presents a cohesive narrative of God's loving plan for humanity, unfolding through the interconnected books of Holy Scripture.
Old Testament:
Foundation and Foreshadowing
The Old Testament reveals God’s loving relationship with humanity, especially through His covenant with Israel. Filled with prophecies, spiritual teachings, and historical events, it lays the groundwork for Christ's coming. Everything points forward, anticipating the fulfilment found only in Christ.
New Testament:
The Fulfilment in Christ
The New Testament fulfils the promises of the Old Testament through Jesus Christ. We see this in His birth, His Ministry, His Death, and His Resurrection. It also marks the beginning of the Church, formed through the Holy Spirit and founded on Christ’s triumph over Sin and Death. The New Testament brings a new covenant of Grace, received through Faith in Jesus who died for us.

Stories from the past and miracles experienced by ordinary people through the Grace of God.
God Healed Me from Terminal Cancer
"I'll never forget the day doctors told me I had stage 4 pancreatic cancer and just months to live. Chemo might buy me time, but there was no cure. My church family prayed relentlessly for me. One night, I had the most vivid dream - I felt this overwhelming warmth and heard a clear voice say, 'You are healed.' When I woke up, all my pain was gone. At my next scan, the doctors were speechless - no cancer anywhere! Even my oncologist said it was medically impossible. I know with all my heart God performed a miracle in my body. Today I'm completely healthy and sharing my story to show others that nothing is impossible for God!"
God Saved Me in a Car Accident
"I was driving late at night when my car hit a patch of black ice and spun out of control. As the car headed straight for a tree, I shouted a prayer for help. Miraculously, I felt the steering wheel turn in my hands and the car slid safely between two trees, coming to a stop with barely a scratch. The emergency responders couldn’t believe I walked away without injury. I know it was God who protected me that night, and I’m forever grateful."
Healed from a Lifelong Allergy
"Since childhood, I suffered from severe and life-threatening peanut allergies. My friends always prayed for my healing, but nothing changed for years. At a healing prayer service, I felt a sudden sense of peace. Later, medical tests showed I was completely allergy-free. My doctor called it 'medically inexplicable.' I’m now able to eat freely and live without fear—this is my miracle."
Freed from Addiction After Prayer
"For over ten years, I struggled with addiction that controlled every aspect of my life. In a moment of desperation, my family and church gathered around me and prayed. The next morning, I felt a clarity and strength I’d never known. From that day, the cravings disappeared, and I’ve remained in recovery ever since. I truly believe only God made this possible."
Miraculously Cured of Terminal Illness
"Doctors told me my cancer was incurable and gave me months to live. Friends, family, and my entire church prayed night and day. One night, I had a dream where I felt a warm presence and heard a voice say, 'You are healed.' My next scan showed no cancer. Even the doctors admitted it was beyond explanation. I’m living proof that with God, all things are possible."

Christianity is more than a religion - it’s a journey of faith, hope, and love. Discover its core beliefs, the life of Jesus Christ, and the teachings that have transformed millions of lives. This section also delves into the history of Christianity, its role in shaping civilizations, and its relevance in today’s modern world.
There is one true Church founded by Jesus Christ, built on Christ the cornerstone and the apostles (Eph 2:20) to carry His truth and grace. The Orthodox Church preserves this apostolic faith in her worship, sacraments, and life. “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18).
Science shows the order and beauty of creation, pointing to God as Creator. It cannot prove or disprove God's existence because he is beyond nature. Through creation, people can see God's invisible qualities (Romans 1:20).
God allows suffering because of sin’s effect on the world, to draw people closer to God and strengthen their faith. Though painful, God uses it for good and offers comfort through His love. “All things work together for good to those who love God” (Romans 8:28).
After we die, our soul continues to live eternally. Those who believe in Jesus Christ enter into eternal life with God - a place of peace, joy, and love beyond this world. The body returns to dust, but at the final resurrection, believers receive glorified bodies and live forever in God’s presence. Those who reject God face eternal separation from Him. This truth offers hope and purpose for life now and forever. “And just as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).
Orthodoxy is the true Church founded by Jesus Christ, preserving the original faith and teachings of the apostles. It follows ancient creeds and traditions, maintaining unity in doctrine, worship, and sacraments. The Orthodox Church guards God's truth faithfully throughout history as the pure body of Christ.
We need the Church because it brings God's grace through sacraments, teaches God's truth, and unites believers. It supports your faith journey and continues Christ’s work on earth. “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” (Matthew 18:20).
Living as a Christian today means following Jesus' teachings with faith, love, and courage amid modern challenges. It calls for prayer, reading God's Word, participating in the Church, and showing compassion to others. Christians are called to be salt and light - standing firm in truth while loving their neighbors. This transforms not only individual lives but also society. “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14).
