Statement of Faith

Based on our adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess with the Christian Church throughout time and around the world the faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe 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, died, and was buried;
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

Yahaya Sharif-Aminu

Im März 2020 brannte ein gefährlicher Mob sein Haus nieder, und die Hisbah-Religionspolizei, eine für die Durchsetzung der Scharia zuständige Behörde, verhaftete Yahaya. Kurz darauf wurde der junge Mann vor einem Scharia-Gericht wegen angeblicher „Blasphemie“ verurteilt und zum Tod durch Erhängen verurteilt. Seine Berufung vor dem Obersten Gerichtshof könnte die auf der Scharia basierenden Blasphemiegesetze in Nordnigeria aufheben.
