📍 Who we are
We gather in the name of the Lord in Milan, following the teachings of the Bible.
(Matthew 18:20)
We belong to no denomination, nor have we founded our own movement. Instead, we desire fellowship with all who believe in the Lord and are born again, seeking the Lord with one heart and one soul together.
(Colossians 3:11; John 17:20–21; Acts 4:32; Romans 12:4–5; 1 Corinthians 1:10)
We remember the Lord in the testimony of the one bread and the one cup.
(1 Corinthians 10:17)
The “Christian Church of Milan” was registered in 2018 as a religious entity with the Italian government.
📖 Our Faith
We believe that the 66 books of the Bible are inspired by God, written by the Holy Spirit through prophets and apostles. The Bible is the complete and inerrant truth, the perfect revelation of God, and the only foundation of our faith.
(2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21)
Some fundamental points of our faith:
- We believe in one true and living God, Creator of the universe, unique in His essence and eternally existing in three distinct Persons but coeternal and consubstantial: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
(Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14) - We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, eternal God, born of the virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit. He lived 33 and a half years on earth, revealing God, and died on the cross for the sins of humanity, shedding His blood for our redemption. He rose again on the third day, ascended into heaven, and will return at the end of this age to gather the saints, judge the earth, and establish His eternal kingdom.
(Luke 1:35; John 1:14; 1 Corinthians 15:3–4; Acts 1:11; Revelation 22:12) - We believe the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and of Christ. He works in the world, convinces of sin, leads to repentance and faith in Jesus. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the believer is the proof of salvation. He guides in truth and produces fruit in the believer’s life. All believers can experience His filling for a holy and victorious life.
(John 16:8–13; Galatians 5:22–23; Romans 8:9) - We believe the Church is the body of Christ, the house of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Christ is the only Head of the Church, and no one can take His place.
All born-again believers are members of His body. The Church is not a building but a living spiritual community.
The Church has both a local expression and a universal dimension: in Christ and the Spirit we must strive for unity in truth.
(Ephesians 1:22–23; 1 Timothy 3:15; 1 Peter 2:5; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 Corinthians 12:12–13; John 17:21) - We believe all redeemed believers will partake in the blessing of the new creation, in the New Jerusalem, forever.
(Revelation 21:1–4; Revelation 22:1–5)
