"Why Jesus?" and "Church: Why Bother?"
Everybody needs somebody! We have been created for relationship; it’s no fun to celebrate alone, or to suffer in solitude. And, the relationship that fills the deepest longing of every heart is the relationship offered by our Creator God. Until we find that relationship there will always be something missing in our lives. We find the purpose for our existence, the meaning of life, the key to eternity, and the immeasurable value of relationship only with the God of our creation and His family – the church.

The church is people who have put their faith in the Son of God – Jesus, and who are seeking to follow Him on the journey of life. The church is not a group of perfect people, but people seeking to find their purpose in the love of Jesus for us, and in the love we have for one another. Christianity, more than anything else is about relationship – not rules or regulations, and not traditions or philosophies. It is about being in relationship with the Person of Jesus Christ. God has designed the church to be His family – where real people struggling with real issues learn to be loved and to love one another. We need the church because we need Jesus, and we need one another.
