At Applewood Community Church our mission and greatest desire is to see all people become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that people can only experience the deepest joy and most profound peace in life when they are rightly related to God, their Creator. Unfortunately, the Bible teaches that no one is able to achieve a relationship with God on their own. There is a barrier called sin that separates people from God. No amount of human goodness or effort can remove the barrier. People who remain separated from God in this life, will stay separated from Him after death for eternity.

Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem. In fact, God solved the problem Himself. The Bible teaches that God loves people so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on a cross almost 2000 years ago. In His death Jesus took upon Himself the sins of all people. Perhaps even more amazing is that He did not stay dead! He came back to life, and when He did that, He provided the way for people to have a relationship with God.

Speaking of his own death and resurrection Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
