OUR MISSION…to see lives changed through a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

“Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.  For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.  So you also are complete through your union with Christ…” Colossians 2:8-10 NLT

Without Jesus Christ, We Are…

  • Dead in our sins. Eph 2:1

  • Without hope and without help. Eph 2:12

  • Foolish, deceived, and slaves to sin. Titus 3:3

  • Spiritually blind. 1 John 2:11

  • Wretched and miserable. Romans 7:24

  • Ignorant, separated from the life of God. Eph 4:18

  • Objects of wrath, destined for destruction. Romans 9:22

“No one is righteous—not even one… All have turned away … No one does good, not a single one. Romans 3:10, 12 NLT

“Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world … All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)” Ephesians 2:1-5 NLT

“Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God…” 2 Corinthians 3:4-5 ESV
