Life. We each have one. It sometimes thrills us and sometimes disappoints.

hands raised welcome photo There are certain things that we have come to recognize about life.

Life is a gift. It wasn't my idea. I didn't design it. I didn't choose to be born. I didn't choose my parents or my birthday or my DNA. It was all created and given to me by Someone much greater than myself. But I get the adventure of living it.

Life is a journey. I am in process. I am an odd mixture of something glorious and something seriously messed-up. I have dreams. I have flaws and guilt. But I also have a desire for significance. Deep inside of me, I'm convinced I was made for something bigger than just where I am today.

Life is short. I'm a temporary resident here. No matter how hard I work, no matter how many successes I experience in my brief time on this planet, the clock is ticking and it will all come to an end sooner than I wish.

Life is meaningful. There really is a purpose to it all-and I am not it. I was given this life, placed on this brief journey to fulfill the purposes of the One who put me here. I can spend my life denying this is so and trying to make it work some other way-or I can believe what has been revealed in the ancient writings of Holy Scripture: It's all about Jesus Christ. Embracing the story of what God has done in Jesus Christ is the most transforming experience a person can ever have.

We invite you to join us in our quest to understand Jesus Christ as the Bible presents Him. Questions, doubts, and struggles are part of the process of following Him. Together we'll learn to appreciate the significance of why He came, what it means to trust Him, and the joy of sharing authentic Biblical Christianity.

If these things are new to you, begin your own quest right here on this website.

Life. Pursue Him.
