Evangelical Methodist Church – Sofia, Bulgaria

The Bible studies are one of the most precious and important activities in our church. It is not accidental that in the beginning of reformation was the studying of God’s Word. We cannot grow towards our Lord without reading His Word. Studying the Bible we get an idea about God and about His expectations from us. And gradually we have the opportunity to conform our lives to it. We should be thankful to our Lord for the Bible lessons. We have such on Thursday at 6 o’clock pm under the guidance of the pastor and on Wednesday at 6 o’clock pm under the guidance of a specially trained person. On Thursday we study the New Testament and on Wednesday – the Old Testament.

We, the young people, believe that everyone needs God. That’s why we organize parties. The aim of the parties is to introduce our faith to our friends. These meeting are more than good food and having wonderful time together. They are a testimony for the change God has made in our lives. Come, you are welcome!

Each Friday at 7 o’clock pm we, the young people, gather and discuss different topical issues connected to our daily life. Our Youth meeting is opened to everyone. We would be glad to see new people together with our friends and acquaintances. We believe that the discussions help other people to think over the important questions and give them new meaning, as they help us. We sing, pray, have fun and communicate together. Come, and we are sure you will spend great time here.

To reach everyone God sends us to with the message for salvation through the deed of Christ on the cross and for the Salvation of mankind from the sin.

1. We believe that there is only one God, Creator of the world, who is eternal and who manifests Himself in three faces – Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Holy Trinity).
2. We believe that Jesus was incarnated through the Holy Spirit and was born by Mary, who was a virgin.
3. We believe that Jesus is God and a man, we believe in His sinless life, in His substitutional redeeming death, in His Resurrection in flesh, in His triumphant Ascension, in His constant intercession and that He’s coming again.
4. We believe that God is love – He loves us and He has created us in order to communicate with us. That’s why in the soul of every man there is an emptiness, which cannot be filled in another way but through communion with the Creator.
5. We believe that the Salvation is gift from God through faith in Jesus Christ who died for our sins. The new birth is a personal experience and a finished momentous act of the Holy Spirit when the repenting person is saved.
6. We believe that the Holy Scripture of the Old and the New Testament (the Bible) was inspired by God and that it is unerring and authoritative.
7. We believe in the necessity of water baptism, so that the commandment of Christ to be fulfilled.
8. We believe in the Holy Communion as a remembrance of the deed of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
9. We believe that the sanctification is the way of the believer. We believe in the life filled with the Spirit, a life of separation from the secular and perfection in holiness and fear from God, as an expression of Christian faith.
10. We believe that the action of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is for exhortation and expansion of the church.
11. We believe that all people who really trust in Lord Jesus Christ are inscribed in the Book of Life and they will experience eternal happiness, and those whose names are not inscribed in the Book of Life will receive the eternal and conscious punishment.
12. We believe that before the end of the world Jesus Christ will come to the Earth in glory. Then all will rise from the dead. After the Resurrection, all people will stand before God’s Judgement and each one will receive according to what he has done while still living, good or evil. After the judgement the non-repented sinners will go to eternal sorrow and the righteous will inherit eternal life. So will the endless Kingdom of Christ start.
