Who we are

As Jesus freaks we claim that in spite of crusades, burning of witches, boring church services, TV preachers who rake in money, and all the pseudo-religious affectation, there is something true and very wonderful behind the story about Jesus!

To be honest we even believe that there isn´t anything better in this whole world than to live with Jesus. Relationship with Him is the meaning of life! The important thing is that neither religion, nor any kind of wisdom or rules for life are what it's about, but a personal relationship with the creator of this earth. Jesus lived on this earth as the son of God. He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of God and is the only one who can close the gap between God and us today. Jesus is the way to God, because He is God. The Holy Spirit and the Word of God, the bible testifies to this. We believe the bible is the written Word of God, written by men, inspired by God, and nothing can be added or taken from it.

We experience that the words of the bible have extraordinary power, and that its statements about life and God are absolutely true. God introduces himself to people, and shows His unique plan for mankind and very individual.

We believe that He turned particularly to the outcast and poor, to those who do not fit the values of our society. As Jesus freaks we want to live as Jesus did; he is our example. Everybody can come as they are, no matter which social background they come from.

It is not our aim to entertain people or to improve their lot but to introduce many to the resurrected Jesus.

Our vision is to see our generations stand up for Jesus all over the world, because living with Jesus is the most cool, compelling, intense and exciting thing of all.

We like to see other churches, better described as groups of Christians, who have Jesus at their center. We regard all Christians as a big family. Every church that focuses on Jesus and every Christian is special and has a mission from God - and we want to carry out ours!

We are not ashamed of being labeled Jesus freaks, because we know Jesus is Truth.

Here what some of our members want to say :

Jesus Loves YOU - camdinosar

I´m really excited because God has been speaking to me about our idenitity in Christ for months! We can claim God's Word as infallible truth and have complete confidence in what He has promised.

We are children of God as written in John 1:12;
We have been justified through faith in Jesus Christ as Romans 5:1 testifies;
We are saints, no different to the Jesus freaks in the church in Turkey ±2000 years ago in Ephesians 1:1;
We are born of God and the evil one cannot touch us (1 John 5:18);
We are salt and light (Matt 5:13-14);
We have been chosen and appointed to bear fruit for His glory (John 15:16); and
We have been given Christ's authority over the Evil One (Luke 10:19)
We believe Jesus is our Savior, Redeemer and Advocate who sits at the right hand of God. (Acts 5:31)

Jesus came to set fire to the earth, and to proclaim the truth to those who would listen, that He was the Son of God, coming to redeem mankind from their fallen state by sacrificing Himself. (Luke 12:49-53)(John 3:15-16)(John 16:33-38).

Jesus IS the supreme example of how to live on this earth, worthy of our time, study, and life application (with the help of the Holy Spirit through Christ)! I owe Him my life for what He did so I can have a relationship with God and carry out His good work in this world :) – beseroo

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil 4:13
He is the one giving us the strength to do great things in his name. – postage_paid
