We exist to know Jesus
& make him known.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is our only hope.
The story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the center of what we believe. In the gospel we see that God ultimately designed man to be in perfect communion with Him, but man chose his own ambition over God. This caused sin and death to enter into the world, resulting in brokenness in every aspect of human life. Jesus lovingly came into the world, fully man and fully God, and lived the perfectly righteous life that we could not. He went to the cross to die the death we deserve for our sin, absorbing its penalty and debt, so that we could come into right relationship with God. He rose three days later, defeating death. He ascended to heaven where he now reigns with God the Father. One day he’ll come again to heal and restore all of creation. At the center of this story is the good news that through faith in Christ, we are adopted into the family of God.
