WHY DID JESUS COME?
This Sunday, join us as we ask a simple but essential question, why did Jesus come. We will hear from Jesus Himself as He tells us why He came to walk this earth and why that still matters today. This message looks beyond the manger and challenges us to see Christ not just as someone to admire, but as someone who calls for a response.
Join us at Tompkins High School at 10:00 am. The link to watch LIVE is on our YouTube Channel. You can go to our home page on our website or our App to connect.
God bless,
Pastor Scott

SIGN UP TODAY FOR OUR APOLOGETICS CLASS
Join us in January as we kick off a 15 week apologetics course that will help all of us grow more confident in what we believe and why we believe it. We will walk through big questions like: Does science really disprove God? Can the Bible be trusted as a historical source? Why does a good God allow evil and suffering, both in my life and in this world? What is truth and how do we even know anything? And that is just the beginning.
We will only be taking the first 20 people who jump in.
But let me clarify first. This is a required class that will have homework. If you are not able to make all 15 weeks of this class, we would encourage you to wait until next time we offer this class. Because there will be a waiting list, please make this a commitment before signing up.
