Jesus

You may have seen us around - giving out food to the needy, building wheelchair ramps, holding community events. We love to serve people. Have you ever wondered why? Jesus. Not because we think we need to earn our way to heaven. Jesus earned that for us when He died on the cross.  We serve because we love. We love because Jesus first loved us  and still loves us. Because we love Jesus, we love the people He created – all of them. 

The foundation of our faith is an event, one that has not been duplicated by anyone. That's why we still talk about it 2,000 years later. Many have died. Only Jesus Christ died,  remained that way for three days, then rose again.  He lived and walked on the earth for 40 days before ascending into heaven.  It's not just a story - it's HIStory.

God requires us to be sinless.  No one who reads this can claim to be sinless. 
The only way we can meet God's requirement of sinlessness is through a Savior – One who removes our sin by taking our punishment for us.  Saving comes through a belief in Jesus, the One who said, 
"I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

By serving, we are blessed. By coming to church, you will be blessed. We welcome you and hope you find yourself encouraged.
