Most people think that following Jesus is about reforming your personal behavior, becoming religious, and following a list of rules to earn God’s favor and forgiveness. This was not at all the message of Jesus. His message was about receiving forgiveness and eternal life as a gift of God—by grace through faith. It all happens when you choose to believe!

Christ calls all who will follow him to make disciples. Our commitment to the Lord is to help as many people take next steps for him. Baptism is the next step, after belief, for any serious follower of Jesus. Baptism is like a wedding ring—it’s an outward sign of an inward decision. It’s a decision to publicly identify that Jesus is your personal Saviour. Have you recently placed your trust in Jesus to save you? Then let us help you plan a time to be baptized soon.
In life we all need authentic, loving friends who encourage and value us, and who cheer us on the journey of spiritual growth. God's church is a place where diverse people are following Jesus together—they are connecting through meaningful relationships and building lifelong friendships. People of every life-stage have a group where they can grow as devoted followers of Jesus.
