WHAT WE BELIEVE
The Christian Church is spread all over the world and today has more than 2 billion followers. As a congregation, Västerkyrkan is part of this large movement and LIFE International is an integral part of this local church family. Together with the other churches in Lund, we want to take responsibility for a Christian presence and testimony among people who live and work in our municipality. We commonly express the center of our faith through the words of the Apostle’s Creed – an affirmation of the Christian Church that has been used for generations.
The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hades; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; The holy Christian Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, and the Life everlasting.
And these verses from the Gospel of John summarize the promise of God’s overwhelming desire for us to come into a faith relationship with Jesus…

John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
