Community Overview

About r/TrueChristian

We exist to provide a safe haven for all followers of Jesus Christ to discuss God, Jesus, the Bible, and information relative to our beliefs, and to provide non-believers a place to ask questions about Christianity as explained in the scriptures, without fear of mockery or debasement. For convenience, we use the Nicene Creed as our standard for people to self-identify as Christians, as this is an ecumenical space, and Protestants, Orthodox, and Catholics all agree with the creed.
