What are you looking for in life?

How do you approach every day?

How will you handle the major crises in your life?

Hard questions don't have easy answers, but they do have an answer. That answer is ultimately found in the God who created the universe and loves you unconditionally. How do you find God? How do you reach Him? The best news is that He is looking for You. That's right, He's reaching out to you, even now.

Saying "Yes" to God begins with your desire to accept his gracious gift of Jesus Christ. Here are some ways to help you do just that. Discover for yourself life the way it was meant to be. Receive God's Gift today!

Admit
Admit that you need a right relationship with God.

Pride keeps us from doing some of the most important things in life. Don't let your pride keep you from THE most important thing in this life...and the next!
As the Scriptures say: "There is no one who always does what is right, not even one..." Romans 3:10 NCV
All have sinned and are not good enough for God's glory..." Romans 3:23 NCV

Believe
Believe that God's Son Jesus Christ makes possible your having a right relationship with God.

There is nothing that you can do, no matter how good or great, to ever restore your relationship with God.

God was using Christ to restore his relationship with humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:19 NCV.

Confess
Confess your sin to God and accept His forgiveness.

Everyone of us chooses to live our lives like we want to, taking charge, ignoring God, pleasing ourselves. That's what separates us from God. That's why we need His forgiveness.

You can have forgiveness of your sins through Jesus. Acts 13:38 NCV

Dedicate
Dedicate yourself as a fully devoted follower of Christ.

Receiving God's gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ will set you in a direction exactly opposite of the one you've been going in because now you're following Christ.

Jesus said to all of them, "If people want to follow me, they must give up the things they want. They must be willing to give up their lives daily to follow me." Luke 9:23

Express
Express your faith in Christ publicly.

What God does for you in his Son Jesus Christ is the greatest thing that will ever happen to you. It requires a clear confession that you have given Him your very life.

If you use your mouth to say, "Jesus is Lord," and if you believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

You can receive Christ by praying this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for me. I am willing to turn from my sins and receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord, In Jesus' name, Amen.

If you have prayed to receive Christ and would like to talk with one of our ministers about your decision, please contact us.
