This thought-provoking sermon explores the question Jesus posed to His disciples in Matthew 16:13–20: “Who do you say I am?” In a world filled with conflicting voices and cultural confusion about the identity of Jesus, this message calls each listener to examine their personal understanding of Christ. It invites us all into deeper faith, personal reflection, and bold public declaration. It ends with a challenge: If Jesus asked you today, “Who do you say I am?”—how would you respond?

About Us
We are a community of faith that embraces and reflects the rich diversity of culture, language, race, ethnicity, and nationality which characterize our city and our world. We believe these differences should not divide, but rather, enrich our lives when we are united in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We hold to the historic Christian faith which remains not only viable but vibrant in the twenty-first century! We believe the love, purpose, and salvation of God are fully revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and we believe the Holy Spirit continues to transform lives today by empowering us to love and serve God and our neighbors throughout our journey in life.
We are a community of faith, hope and love that values each individual and responds with compassion to the needs of the world. We are a place where people are encouraged to grow and empowered to serve – in both practical ways that make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and in our larger community.
