At the heart of everything we do is the message that changed our lives — the Gospel.
The word Gospel simply means “good news.” It is the good news that God loves us, that He has made a way to forgive our sins, and that through Jesus Christ, we can be restored to Him forever.
God created us for relationship with Himself — to know Him, love Him, and reflect His goodness in the world.
“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.’” — Genesis 1:26 (NASB)
But from the beginning, humanity chose its own way. Sin entered the world, separating us from God and bringing death into what was meant to be life.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23 (NASB)
No amount of good works, religion, or moral effort can erase sin. We cannot save ourselves.
“The wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 6:23 (NASB)
Out of love, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to live the perfect life we could not live and to die the death our sin deserved. On the cross, Jesus took our place — and through His resurrection, He conquered sin and death forever.
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 (NASB)
He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said.” — Matthew 28:6 (NASB)
The Gospel calls for a personal response. God invites us to turn from sin, believe in Jesus, and trust Him as Lord and Savior.
“If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” — Romans 10:9 (NASB)
Salvation is not earned; it is a gift received by faith.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” — Ephesians 2:8 (NASB)
When we place our faith in Christ, we are forgiven, made new, and adopted into God’s family. His Spirit begins transforming us from the inside out.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB)
This same invitation is open to all. No matter your past or your present, God’s grace is greater. He stands ready to forgive, restore, and walk with you — today and forever.
If you’ve never received Jesus as Lord, you can do so now, simply and sincerely:
“Lord Jesus, I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust You as my Savior. Come into my life and make me new. I give myself to You.”
