You may hear us speak of the gospel of Jesus Christ a lot in our worship, prayer and preaching. That’s because we believe the good news of Jesus Christ, bringing us eternal life and forgiveness of sins, is central to our lives. We may come from different backgrounds or may be in various stages of life, but together we boast in the gospel of Jesus. This gospel unifies us. It challenges us to grow in humility and grace. So when we gather here we don’t seek to emphasize personal preferences, but instead we seek to praise God through Jesus by the power of the Spirit. Our hope is that we are a people who encourage one another to rejoice in the Savior who loved us and gave himself for us.

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. – Romans 15:5-6
