What is an Evangelical Christian Church?

An evangelical church is a Protestant Christian movement focused on the "Good News" (gospel) of Jesus Christ, emphasizing personal conversion ("born again"), the Bible's authority, and active evangelism (sharing faith) and good deeds.

While historically rooted in Reformation movements, the modern "evangelical" term often describes conservative, Bible-centered Protestant churches prioritizing a personal relationship with Christ and mission work.

Core beliefs and characteristics
- Biblicism: High regard for the Bible as the ultimate authority.
- Conversionism: Belief in a transformative "born again" experience.
- Activism/Evangelism: A drive to spread the gospel and live out faith through missionary work and social action.
- Crucicentrism: Focus on Jesus's sacrificial death as the only way for salvation.
- Personal faith: Emphasis on a daily, active relationship with God, not just an intellectual concept.
