What Is Christianity?

The message at the heart of Christianity is pretty simple. Find out what it's all about on this two-minute video. Turn your speakers on! At the bottom of the page there are details on how to ask any questions you may have.

Christianity is about Jesus. But who is Jesus?

Jesus once asked His followers this question:

"Who do you say I am?"

A prophet with a new teaching?
A healer to the sick?
A savior to a lost world?

WIC.1

Jesus claimed each of these, but most importantly, He claimed to be God in the flesh.

At the dawn of time He ignited human history when He spoke. He breathed life into the lungs of the first man and woman - and every inch of creation itself.

WIC2

But we rebelled. We turned against our King and followed our own ways, even though it would cost us our life. Our sin poisoned His perfect creation, giving way to sickness, injustice, and death.

WIC3

Sin separated us from one another, and from God.

Why did Jesus come?

But rather than cast off humanity, God sent his Son Jesus to enter into the world He created - the one broken by our sin. He breathed our air, became human like us.

WIC4

He lived a perfect life - the one God intended we live - and called us to repent of our sin and follow Him in faith.

Some believed His word and recognized Him as King. Others denied Him. They crowned Him with thorns and murdered Him. They rejected Him, and so have we.

But God had a plan. Jesus willingly gave himself up to die on a cross to save us from God's judgment and the death we deserve.

WIC5

On that cross, He exchanged our rebellion for His obedience. Our brokenness for His perfection.

The Son of God died so we could live.

And on the third day, He rose to life again, defeating death forever.

And now, He sits on the throne of heaven, offering life through the Holy Spirit to all those who repent and trust in Him.

WIC6

What does it mean for us?

Jesus is the King of Kings.

You can either crown Him or crucify Him. There is no middle ground.

No one will ever ask you a more important question than the one Jesus asked:

Who do you say I am?

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so you can know exactly what to expect at our Sunday service.

Where and When

We currently meet in a home for our Sunday service at 4:00 p.m. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to find a seat and get settled. You’ll be greeted at the door by someone from our Welcome Team.

We meet at:

10143 Sumter Court, Cedar Lake IN 46303

There is parking available on-site.

Our Service

There is no dress code here, so please just come as you are. Our service begins at 4:00 p.m. with a warm welcome followed by a time of worship. We typically have 3 or 4 songs. During this time, you may hear members pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people might share something that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might be a new experience for you, but it’s a natural part of how we connect with God together.

After a brief look at church news, one of our leaders shares a practical, biblically-based message. At the end of the service, there is an opportunity to receive prayer if you would like.

What about my kids?

We love having the whole church family worshipping God together! Children stay with their parents at the start of the service (welcome, songs, and announcements). We'll then announce when it's time for the younger members to head to their groups:

Nursery (0-3 years) A fun space for toddlers. (Infants <6 months are welcome to use the space, but must be accompanied by a parent.)
Pebbles (3-11 years) A mix of Bible stories, music, crafts, and games.
Youth (11-18 years) Our teens stay in the main service for the sermon. (Click here for more details about our youth group.)

Safety & Registration: You will need to go with your children to register them as part of our child safety policy. While you're dropping them off, we'll take a short "chat break" to give you a chance to come back before the sermon begins. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Stay for food: On the first Sunday of every month, please join us for a free community meal after the service. As our guest, we'd love to serve you and get to know you better!

Getting Connected

Sundays are great, but our Small Groups are where you can really build friendships and find support. We would love to put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

We also invite you to join our Alpha course -- a relaxed space to explore the big questions of life and faith.

We hope, whoever you are, that you will feel at home at our church.
