Sadly, one of the things Christians do most poorly is to explain the Gospel message. The impression is often given that "the Gospel" is a set of outmoded beliefs written on a page, or a spiel to be sold to unwitting customers.

But Christians have found it to be truly Good News -- for themselves and for society.

What's it all about? 

We have found through personal experience that the Gospel is not only Good News (that's the meaning of the word "Gospel"), but it is truly relevant:

• Encounter with the living PERSON of Jesus Christ
• The dynamic for Life as originally intended
• Grace and Mercy — not just a list of Do's & Don'ts or man-made Laws

     "The Law was given through Moses, but Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17).

Yes, the Gospel truly has content, and it calls urgently for your Repentance and Faith, just as preached in many  Evangelical churches. But don't lose sight of the fact that what God offers is truly GOOD, and good for you.

But the Bottom Line is this:

All people must Repent and have Faith in Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord.

Here's what that means:

• Repentance — Admitting to your Sin before God, and turning from it.
• Faith in Jesus Christ — Trusting in the Truth of what Jesus said & did — casting your hopes upon Him.
• Taking Christ as your Savior — Trusting what He did on the Cross, receiving the benefits of His death for you.
• Taking Christ as your Lord — Taking Jesus as the new master in your life — a master who loves you! It's like falling in love and wanting to get married.

Yes, there's lots of theology in all of this. But all you really need to know is this — 

                  YOUR NEED and GOD'S PROVISION.

We and our church adhere to the Reformed faith, as expressed in the historic Westminster Confession of Faith (1648). But we do so because we have found it to be the best expression we can find of that doctrine and life presented in the Scriptures. The Scriptures are the only infallible rule of faith and practice. But the Confession and Catechisms are GREAT tools for studying Scripture, full of references you can look up and study for yourself.

"Study, that you may be approved of God, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth."
