Tiivistelmä
Saarinen, Merja. The Meaning of the Bible and the Church Community for the Raamattu Puhuu (The Bible Speaks) Church Members. 48 pages 6 appendices. Diaconia University of Applied Sciences, Degree Programme in Social Services. Degree: Bachelor of Social Services (UAS) option in Diaconia. Helsinki. Spring 2016. Language: English.
This thesis is telling about the meaning of the Bible and church fellowship to the participants of the Raamattu Puhuu Church. I collected material for this thesis by interviewing six people from the church, and by reading the church websites, Raamattu Puhuu Helsinki and Greater Grace World Outreach. In my theses, I am writing about the value and the meaning of the Bible for one’s everyday life. Furthermore, I will discuss the significance of the church community to an individual church member.
My aim is to report why the Bible is important to the people I interviewed. Also, one of the objectives of this study is to take a closer look at one of the so called free church fellowships in the Helsinki area, and to describe what they are doing and what their status is as being a part of the local community and surrounding neighborhood.
In my studies, I have included the option of diaconal orientation. Therefore, my personal Christian world view can be seen in the background of this thesis.
Keywords: The Bible, Church, Raamattu Puhuu Church Helsinki, Psychosocial health
