We believe Jesus, the Son of God, entered our broken world and lived a life that reveals God to us and tells us who we are: beings created by God in God’s image who suffer in a broken world.

 

Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience to God and suffered and died on a cross to create the way for people to be reconnected to God, as we were created to be. God brought Jesus to life again—defeating death—and Jesus returned to his Father in heaven.

 

Because Jesus died and rose again, we can live in hope

for a better life in this world and in eternity with God.

 

To connect with this new life and hope, we need to recognize that we have big issues that we can’t fix ourselves, accept Christ’s claim that he is the Son of God and the way to new life, and allow God to lead us into a new relationship with him.

 

Make this commitment:

 

The first step to personally knowing God is to...

• tell him that you need him in your life; that you can no longer live your life on your own.  

• tell him that you believe that Jesus came to save you, to heal your heart, and to restore your relationship with him.  

• tell him that you are ready to trust and follow Jesus and to start living your life as his follower. 

 

Second,

• get involved in a Bible study so that you can start learning what the Bible says about being a Christian.

• start going to church regularly so that you can learn what it means to follow Jesus.  

• tell another Christian about your commitment and ask that person to help you discover what it means to follow Jesus.
