We are a church of people who were once disinterested, antagonistic, and distant toward God transformed into new people full of life toward their creator. The Gospel confronts us with the reality that we are sinful, rebellious and spiritually dead, and only the redemptive work of the Son of God through his life, death, resurrection and ascension can awaken our souls and save us. The Gospel, however, doesn't merely allow us to escape hell and enter heaven. The Gospel is the engine and power that drives holy living. In the Gospel, we are free to admit our weaknesses, sins and failures, resting in the truth that we are dearly loved daughters and sons of the King. Through the Gospel, we are freed to new relationships, service and lives changing our community, culture and world. In short, the Gospel of Jesus Christ transforms everything.
