There was a man named Jesus who lived about 2,000 years ago in Israel. He lived a perfect life. He never did or said or thought anything wrong. Jesus has shown us through his actions how human beings are supposed to act, how we are to love God and love our neighbor. Jesus lived this perfect life because he was God in the flesh and Jesus revealed himself to be God through his words and deeds.

Even though Jesus lived a perfect life, people hated him. They were jealous and skeptical and angry at Jesus. They falsely accused him and sentenced him to death on a cross, the most shameful and painful punishment in their society. On the cross Jesus took the punishment we deserved for our sins. He suffered as a substitute, receiving what we ought to receive for all the bad things we do in life.

After he died and was buried in a tomb, on the third day Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus’ resurrection proved that he is truly the Lord God and was seen by many witnesses. If we believe that Jesus is Lord and God has raised him from the dead, our sins will be forgiven and we will have everlasting life.

Our church exists because we as individuals have heard and believed the good news about Jesus. Our church exists in order to bear witness to the good news by serving Christ, our community, and one another.
