We preach Christ crucified



The message of the Cross is foolishness to those who will not claim its hope, but for those being saved, it is God’s power.

Some want miracles for proof, and others look for wisdom. As for us, we proclaim Christ crucified, a message that is offensive to miracle seekers and nonsense to those who seek logic; but for those whom God has called, this message is everything. For what seems to be God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God's weakness is stronger than human strength. [From the Bible - 1 Corinthians 1]


God of grace and hope,
At your cross my brokenness,
Is met by your brokenness.

So Grant me the wisdom,
To walk this foolish path;
And the strength,
To be overcome by its example.
