Your journey to faith and happiness begins here

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 does not prove the existence of God directly, but it points to rational grounds for belief: the orderliness and fine-tuning of the universe, the origin of the laws of nature and human consciousness are difficult to explain without an intelligent First Cause.

God did not create suffering. It is a consequence of falling away from Him. The Lord does not forcibly remove suffering, as He respects human freedom and even uses pain as a path to healing, maturity, and encountering Him; at the same time, He Himself shared in human suffering through His death on the cross, rather than remaining aloof. “All things work together for good to those who love God” (Romans 8:28).

After death, a person does not disappear or dissolve into nothingness: the soul leaves the boundaries of this world and enters into God's reality, where perfect life is revealed; there are no wars, violence, diseases, fear, grief, or loss there, because all these things belong to the temporary, earthly world.  Orthodox Christianity says that it is better there than here — not as an escape from earthly life, but as a transition to its fullness, where love, peace and life can no longer be taken away.

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).
