Connect with Christ
-
God's design for creation was for it to be a perfect place of fellowship between God and man. Sin corrupted this design and caused separation and enmity between God and man. Because of sin, the world was cursed with grief, sorrow, pain, and death. In His love, God sent Jesus to atone for sin, defeat death, and restore relationship with God.
You can connect with God’s original design for you by saying Yes to Jesus by placing your faith and trust in Him.
You can receive Jesus Christ through faith.
People often think that through their efforts they can overcome the sin barrier between themselves and God. This is not true! There’s nothing you can do to restore the broken relationship with God. You can’t earn God’s salvation. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Romans 4:4-5)
Through prayer you can trust in Jesus Christ.
Through prayer, you declare that you are relying on Jesus Christ as your Savior. There are no “magical” words that result in salvation. It is only faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection that can save you. If you understand that you are a sinner and in need of salvation through Jesus Christ, you can pray something like this:
“God, I know that I am a sinner. I know that I deserve the consequences of my sin. However, I am trusting in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe that His death and resurrection provided by for my forgiveness. I trust in Jesus and Him alone as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you, Lord, for saving me and forgiving me! Amen!”

Connect with a Group
We believe that life change happens best in circles, not rows. That’s why we encourage every person to do life together with other believers in small groups. These groups most often meet in homes, but they can happen in a lot of different places — coffee shops, offices, even around a picnic table. Getting together in a circle is different from sitting in a church with rows.
- In a circle, you look someone in the face.
- In a circle, there’s dialogue and conversation.
- In a circle, we’re more free to engage in meaningful conversations.
These are critical elements of the kinds of relationships that bring life change.
I’m ready to sign up for a small group that meets in my area.
