What we believe - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

      (John 3:16-17 )

God created and desires a relationship with all people. The basis of that relationship is God's love in Jesus Christ. God took responsibility for our sin through Jesus when Jesus took the sins of the world upon himself on the cross. Salvation is an offer that comes as a gift. It cannot be earned.

We can only receive it with empty hands, with a trusting heart. Grace means gift. It is intended for sinners (everyone) to free them from sin's curse and power. In Jesus we are made into a new creation. When we receive this new life, God lifts all condemnation and judgment that we once deserved.
