Easter at Grace!
We're so glad you are joining us this Easter! If this is all new for you, here's some helpful information:
Why do we celebrate Easter?
Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ! We believe that around 33 A.D. Jesus was killed by crucifixion, buried for three days, and rose again on Sunday. We believe that all people have missed God's mark and deserve punishment for our wrongdoing because God is perfectly just. However, Jesus lived a perfect life, and His death paid our debt against God. Then, His resurrection shows the freedom that is available for us through His sacrificial death; it shows us that God accepted Jesus's payment on our behalf!
Who is Jesus?
We believe Jesus is our King and Savior. Jesus is fully God and fully man- God Who took on flesh. He was born as a baby around 2000 years ago; he lived a perfect life as a man, and then died to offer salvation to the world. If we accept His free gift of salvation, He gives us His righteousness and we are free to follow and serve Him.
Why go to church?
The local church is a gift from God. Followers of Jesus join together in community for fellowship and to grow in their faith and pursuit of God. We worship God through song, hear teaching from the Bible, and respond in prayer and worship. If you've never been to church, it is a great place to hear about the truth and love of God!
