What is the gospel? God, out of love for mankind, is reconciling mankind to Himself in the atoning death of Jesus Christ. It is the good news that God has acted to forgive, redeem and heal rebellious creatures and a broken world. It is the power of God for salvation and can transform any individual and any community.
What is gospel renewal? God’s reconciled and redeemed people, out of love for Jesus Christ, are empowered by the gospel to love and serve their neighbors in tangible ways. The gospel creates a new community, a family in which we enjoy God and one another. Reconciliation across racial, ethnic and class lines is at the heart of the gospel and is highly valued in our community.
We would love to meet you, or to speak or pray with you. Please e-mail us or call at 203-923-3093.
