Jesus of Nazareth, who walked in the towns and villages of modern-day Israel nearly 2,000 years ago, is alive today and is the reason for us to be gathered as a family.

Jesus came on earth to show us the Father and demonstrate God’s perfect love and absolute goodness in holiness. He reached out to the poor and the marginalized, healed the sick, opened the eyes of the blind, cast out demons, cleansed the untouchables, and raised the dead.

Jesus is the way to be reconciled to God. Jesus is the truth about who God is and who we are designed to be. Jesus is the life of those who confess that he is Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead. No one comes to God the Father except through Jesus.

We are people who have tasted the goodness of God in Jesus and want to walk in his manifest presence.
