God wants a relationship with YOU 

Above everything else, we want you to know that a relationship with God is possible for you.  No matter who you are, where you come from, what language you speak, what you look like, what you have done and what has happened to you in your life, we want you to know that a relationship with God is possible.

We want you to have hope that comes from knowing that there is a force more powerful than all the forces of the world and the universe put together, and that force is the power of the love of God extended to all human beings in the arrival of Jesus Christ in our world.

And when we say, "all human beings," we mean you

God works with people, with each one of us, where we really are and as who we really are.  No one can take on the evil that we human beings do and the power of death that now hovers over human life as a result.

We were all created for love:  love shared with God and love shared among ourselves as human beings.  Jesus took on human flesh to bring near the unbreakable love that God has for all living creatures.  But we are afraid of it, afraid that it will ask more of us than we can give. 

Discovering this love of God, given to those who have no reason to expect it, is the Gospel lived out by Jesus Christ.

While you are reading this page and looking at these words, the God who spoke the worlds into existence by the power of his words of love is speaking your name and pouring out love on you beyond all human ability to imagine.  God embraces you more strongly than your dearest friend, or the dearest friend you can ever have.  

Jesus himself came, fully knowing how strongly all of us resist love.  Yet, he came, and by his Spirit, he calls you home to a life of love, the life we were all created to know.
