The Gospel
Our church exists because of God’s incredible gift of forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ. Above all, we want you to know that God loves you deeply and has a unique purpose for your life!
​
Many people try to earn God’s favor by following religious rules, attending services, or striving to be good. However, true fulfillment and eternal life in heaven come only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
​
Here’s what you need to know:
-
God's Love for You
- God's boundless love for everyone means He longs for a close, unbroken relationship with you.
- ​(John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4-5)​
- God's boundless love for everyone means He longs for a close, unbroken relationship with you.

Everyone Sins
-
​All people are sinners, meaning they choose their own path instead of obeying God.
-
​​(Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:10)​

Sin Creates a Divide
- Sin builds a wall between you and God, who is holy. As a sinner, you cannot have a close relationship with Him and face an eternity without Christ, which the Bible describes as Hell.
- ​(Isaiah 59:2; Romans 3:23)
- Sin builds a wall between you and God, who is holy. As a sinner, you cannot have a close relationship with Him and face an eternity without Christ, which the Bible describes as Hell.

You Cannot Save Yourself
- Many believe they can bridge the gap to God through good deeds, but this is impossible. No effort of your own can restore your relationship with God or earn salvation.
- (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Romans 4:4-5)

Jesus Bridges the Gap

Faith in Jesus Restores You
- Faith means trusting in Jesus’ work on the cross, not your own efforts, to reconcile you with God. It involves complete dependence on Christ to bring you into a right relationship with God and a commitment to turn away from sin with genuine repentance.
- (John 14:6; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10)
