Please allow us this opportunity to briefly introduce ourselves to you. We are a group of people who belong to Jesus Christ, desire to praise God for the wonderful blessings He has given us through Him, and seek to tell others about these blessings.

THE PAST (Isaiah 59:1-2; Ephesians 2:1-3)

Simply put, without Christ we were dead in sin. Sin is a terrible thing as it separates us from the God who loves us. Ultimately it brings eternal separation from God. That's not where we want to go. You see, the devil convinced us that the pursuit of our own desires would bring fulfillment and happiness. So we became consumed by a multitude of sins. Some were full of envy, hatred, and jealousy. Others may have lied and cheated somehow. Whatever the sin, the result was the same. We were lost and dead in sin. Our lives were empty for we had bought into the devil's deception. But God still loved us.

JESUS, THE LOVING SAVIOR (Isaiah 53; John 3:16; Hebrews 2:14-17)

God sent His son to offer His own perfect, sinless life as a sacrifice for us. What love! We read verses like "he was led as a lamb to the slaughter" and "by His stripes we are healed" and we see that great love. What horrible suffering he endured for the sins of the world as He died alone on the old rugged cross. But Jesus also raised from the dead and thus demonstrated His power over death and took the power of the devil away. We believe that Jesus is alive for evermore. The story of the Lord's death, burial , and resurrection is the gospel of Christ - the good news of salvation and hope of eternal life. It is there for anyone who will come to Jesus (Heb. 5:8-9).

WHO WE ARE NOW (Romans 6:3-6; Ephesians 2:4-10)

It's not about us any more. Through God's love and mercy we have been made alive in Christ. We have become disciples of Jesus Christ now desiring only to follow and serve Him. We have had our sins removed by being baptized into Jesus' death and now we have been raised from baptism to a new life. We are God's chosen people, a holy nation, and His own children. We have been created in Christ for good works and to give God glory, praise, and honor. Oh, we are far from perfect as we still war against sin. But we do our best realizing that God does not allow us to be tempted above what we can bear. We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and it is the sole basis for our beliefs. It lights the pathway before us and we delight in its meditations always.

WE WELCOME YOU

We are so thankful for God's love and mercy, for the forgiveness of sins, and the hope of eternal life that we have. We want others to share in the bounties of God's love as well. We know religion can be a confusing thing sometimes and we would like to sit down with you and simply read the Bible and discuss our faith in Jesus Christ and His resurrection. The Bible came from God and it will always bring us home. Or perhaps you could join us at one of our regularly scheduled assemblies at Camden Avenue. We meet frequently to encourage each other and it would be our pleasure for you to join us. We know you will be blessed in so doing.
