About Us

We believe that God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from God. Salvation comes only through God’s grace-not human effort-and must be received personally by repentance and faith.

A Message

FROM  PASTOR ROSS THOMPSON

        

How are you doing?  Would you say you are experiencing real love that lasts, joy in living life, and peace in your mind despite the circumstances around you?  Is such a life even possible?  Yes, it is. 

           

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the One who makes love, joy, peace possible.  And He really loves you.   God the Father loved the world so much, including you, that He gave His only Son, Jesus, “… that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3.16b

 

When we believe in Jesus, asking Him to forgive our sins, we have a great Person, a High Priest,  who speaks up  for us in Heaven before God the Father:

 

14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. 15 This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the same temptations we do, yet He did not sin. 16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”  Hebrews 4.14-16   

 

Follow Jesus.  He will lead you to abundant and eternal life.
