Being a Christian

Help with finding out more about Being a Christian

If you would welcome a chat.

Being a Christian is the best adventure you could begin.  God loves and cares about you.   He wants you to know His love, His forgiveness and acceptance through Christ.  He has a plan and purpose for each human life. To be a Christian is to be living the fullest human life possible.

The best way to discover more is to meet a real life Christian!  There are plenty of people who would love to meet up and listen to where you are coming from.  They won’t bash you over the head with a bible! But will share their faith as much as is helpful.  If you send a message here with your details, we would love to connect you with a local Christian who you can spend some time with.
