We believe that God loved us so much that He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to take our sins upon Himself, die for us, and rise again proclaiming His victory over death and securing an eternal home in Heaven for all who believe in Him.

Jesus's suffering and death is the substitute for all people of all time. He purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
