Faith is believing that Jesus Christ is God's Son and that Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose again and now dwells with God in heaven. Faith also involves the element of trust. When you have faith in Jesus you give your life to Him.

Over the last 2000 years, Christianity has influenced the lives of people around the globe to be more loving, serving and complete. The sad fact, however, is that while we worship a God of unity, his people have often divided over a variety of issues. The story of God' church in America is one of dramatic positive impact. But it is also a picture of division and
separation.

The Christian Church represents a fresh approach. It began a few hundred years ago as people from all denominational backgrounds began to pursue a simple approach to expressing their faith. Using the New Testament as the source of guidance, the Christian Church emphasizes unity around the "essentials" of Christianity and freedom regarding the "non-essentials" (or those things that seem to foster strong opinions but are not related to salvation and eternal destiny).This focus on the core values of the faith, on Jesus as Lord, and on the Bible as the ultimate standard for life choices creates an atmosphere that is grace-based and which encourages disciples to keep the main thing the main thing instead of becoming distracted by peripheral issues.
