When coming near to God, we must deny ourselves and rely on the finished work of Christ. By dying to ourselves and trusting in Jesus, we are made alive to God. This is what it means to live by faith in Christ.
We are all sinners, and it is impossible that we can ever do enough to outweigh our sin. BUT GOD, has made a way through the righteousness of Christ for us to come near and be fully accepted; by faith alone!
The gospel is the Word and Work of God. Because it’s not the creation of man, but the Creator himself, it is greater and more trustworthy than anything.

The desire of God is that disciples grow in Christlikeness. He has designed this to happen within a community of believers, as each member does their part to grow the body into maturity. Growing Together in the Mission of God is the outflow of discipleship.

However, in return, we receive more than we could ever hope or imagine. By taking up our cross and following him through death, we are made more alive than ever before.
As we seek to follow the ways and words of Christ, God has designed us and gifted us to follow and serve him together. The corporate course of discipleship requires all of us following together. Join us as we explore the importance of Joining God’s Mission in Christ’s Body.
The call to Christ can seem overwhelming when we realize the magnitude of the responsibility to make disciples. We are just as likely to run ahead of Him as we are to run away. Yet Jesus calls us to a life of rest, free from the stress of our efforts. Join us as we examine the Course of Discipleship.
