About
We believe the Church exists to extend the presence, the purpose and power of Jesus on earth. The Bible calls this the Gospel, or “Good News.” We like to call it God’s Grand Story.
We sum up God’s Grand Story into one sentence: It is God saying, "I want to give you a way to come back to me, so that we can do life together." We believe God’s Grand Story is a story of love and redemption. We trust God when he tells us he has been pursuing us ever since the Garden of Eden, where mankind chose a life apart from him. We believe God when he tells us there is no other way to find an eternal life of hope, peace, and purpose, except through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus made that kind of life possible through his death and sacrifice on the cross. We come into that life by trusting in him in faith and accepting his free gift of salvation. Because we now belong to him, we follow him in baptism. But that’s not all. The great news of the Good News is that once we accept Christ’s invitation to join his story, we become part of the Church – the Body of Christ. As his Body we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the work of Jesus - to be Jesus to the world around us.
