COS-Burundi Statement of Belief
We believe that a Triune God created all things, including humanity which He made in His Image to be with Him. We believe that when humanity chose their own desires over union with God, they separated themselves from their Source of Life, thus ultimately choosing death.
We believe that Jesus, the Divine Son of God, came down to earth as the promised Messiah, and through His death and resurrection alone can humans be reconciled to God and once again live together with Him in His Eternal Kingdom.
We believe that we can be in God’s Kingdom even now when we live as Jesus did – gladly serving our community with love and kind compassion, so that others to may also know Jesus intimately and enter into the Kingdom of God.
