The marquee for First Christian Church, located in Gardena, is "divided" into three sections, it reads: "First Christian Church" and lists the order of service in English; "Gardena Korean Christian Church", listing the order of service in Korean; and "Iglesia Cristiana 'Fuente de Vida'", listing the order of service in Spanish. Below the main marquee, a smaller sign reads "First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)"; on the right, a house peeks through. Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, which teaches that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied. The core Christian belief is that, through the death and resurrection of Jesus, sinful humans can be reconciled to God and thereby are offered salvation and the promise of eternal life. Also, through faith in Jesus, one can be saved from sin and eternal death. Christianity is one of the world's largest religions with an estimated number of followers that ranges between 1.5 and 2.1 billion; it is the predominant religion in Europe, the Americas, South Africa, and the Philippines.
