SALVATION THROUGH FAITH
Know Jesus
Before anything was made, God already planned a story of rescue—one written in love and carried through all of Scripture. When humanity turned away and sin broke what was whole, God did not abandon His creation. Instead, in His great love, He stepped into the story Himself through Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, born of the virgin Mary, entering our world to bring redemption. He lived the life we could not live—perfect, sinless, and fully obedient to the Father. In love, He willingly gave Himself on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins, taking our place so that reconciliation with God would be possible.
On the third day, Jesus rose bodily from the grave, defeating sin, death, and every power of darkness. His resurrection declared that the work was finished. He ascended into heaven and now reigns as Lord of all, seated at the right hand of the Father, and one day He will return to make all things new and bring justice and restoration in full.
This is the heart of the gospel: God becoming man in Jesus Christ to rescue what was lost and bring us back to Himself. And this rescue is not something we earn or achieve. Salvation is God’s gracious work—planned in eternity, promised throughout Scripture, and offered through faith in Christ’s redemptive work.
By His grace and because of His great love, God takes what is spiritually dead and makes it alive through the work of the Holy Spirit. He forgives, justifies, and restores—not because of our works, but through faith alone in Jesus. In this new life, He gives us everything we could never produce on our own: His righteousness credited to us, His Spirit dwelling within us, and the joy of being adopted into His family as beloved children of God.
As Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say I am?” — Matthew 16:15
repent and be baptized
Baptism
If you believe this is true, Jesus extends a personal invitation to you: to turn from sin in repentance and place your faith in Him alone. Salvation is not about striving to become someone new—it is about receiving the new life He freely gives. In Christ, God makes you new on the inside, forgiving your past, restoring your heart, and bringing you into His family as His beloved child.
And as a response to this new life, baptism becomes a beautiful next step—an outward declaration of an inward transformation. It is a public testimony that you have been united with Christ in His death and resurrection, and that you now belong to Him. If you are ready, we invite you to take that step of faith and be baptized as a declaration that your life has been made new in Jesus.
Go and Make Disciples
Discipleship Classes
Activate is a discipleship experience designed to help you grow deeper in your walk with Jesus and live out your faith with purpose. In Activate, you will be equipped to discover the mission of God for all believers, activate the power of God in your life through the Holy Spirit, and become a disciple who makes a difference in your everyday life.
This is an 8-week journey that begins with four mid-week sessions focused on building a strong foundation in the core truths of our faith. During this time, you’ll have space to ask questions and develop a clear, rooted understanding of God’s Word so your faith stands firm and secure.
Halfway through the course, we step into a full-day Saturday intensive designed for a deeper, more personal encounter with God alongside trusted church community—creating space to reflect, process, and allow the Holy Spirit to stir, heal, and produce lasting fruit in your life.
From there, the final four mid-week sessions shift toward outward impact, helping you recognize what God has done in you so He can work through you. You’ll explore your story, God’s greater story, and how your life can become a living testimony that impacts others in everyday spaces.
Iron sharpens iron
Community & Life Groups
Grow stronger in faith through real relationships built on honesty, encouragement, and shared life. Our Life Groups create space to walk through life together, grow in God’s Word, and support one another in every season. We believe we’re better together, and that spiritual growth happens best in community.
Our Community Groups are larger groups based on geographical location that meet around the city for fellowship and Bible study, and they are open for sign-up at any time. Life Groups are smaller, more focused communities centered around similar stages of life—such as students, parents, athletes, and more—where deeper relationships can be formed. Foundations Groups are designed to help you solidify and clarify what it means to walk out the Christian life according to the Bible.
One Body, Many Parts
Serve The Body
As one body in Christ, each believer has been uniquely gifted and called to contribute to the life of the church. Scripture reminds us that we are many parts, yet one body, joined together in Christ and belonging to one another (1 Corinthians 12:27). In this unity, we are invited to use our time, talent, and treasure not as isolated gifts, but as offerings that build up and strengthen the whole church.
God has entrusted each person with specific abilities, resources, and opportunities so that, together, we might reflect His love and purpose in a fuller way. As each part does its work, the church grows in love and maturity, becoming what God designed it to be. In this way, our individual gifts become part of a greater story—building up the body of Christ and serving one another in love.
