Close-up view of Montebello Christian Fellowship's main entrance and tower, located on 136 South 7th Street. The building is painted cream, with a red roof and has several rectangular windows as well as an arched entrance. The church was established over 70 years ago; it started as a small home Bible study group and has expanded through the years. Verso on photograph states that this particular structure was formerly the First Baptist Church, built in 1947, but it is unknown when it acquired its current name. 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.
