We are a people who have come to the sobering recognition that we are great sinners in need of a great Savior.

 

If the “chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever”, we as His created people have fallen woefully short of that purpose. We, by nature and willful choice, have chased after any and every other means of satisfaction this world has on offer and have rebelled against our Creator and King. As such we are deserving of His just, righteous, and eternal wrath.

​

The good news of the gospel is that God, “who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that he has for us...made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our sins.”

 

God offers forgiveness to all who repent of their sin and turn to Him in faith, specifically faith that is rooted in the finished work of His Son, who died a substitutionary, atoning death on the cross for sin.

 

We are thus a redeemed people, intentionally gathered, growing in our gratitude for the overwhelming love of God. We are a people who are endeavoring to love Him, each other, and our neighbor better than we did yesterday. 

 

Ultimately, we exist to glorify God by enjoying Him and making His disciples among all peoples.
