For the curious

Faith can start with an honest question.

Christianity isn't asking you to switch off your mind. The Bible invites you to seek, ask, and discover who Jesus is. If you're unsure what you believe, that's a real place to begin.

The heart of it

The best news I know.

The gospel is not a list of things you have to accomplish. It is the story of what Jesus has already done for you.

Honest questions deserve honest answers

What does the Bible actually say?

These are not arguments to win. They are answers I believe are true, offered with respect for wherever you are starting.

01How can I know there is a God?

You do not need blind faith to believe in God. You need open eyes.

Creation points beyond itself. When you see a painting, you know there was a painter. When you see a building, you know there was a builder. The order, beauty, and complexity of this world point to a Designer.

Think about DNA. It works like a book written in a four-letter biological language, carrying detailed instructions for life. Information that meaningful does not make me think “accident.” It makes me think “Author.” The Bible says God's invisible qualities are understood by the things He made.

Creation tells us that someone is there. Jesus shows us who He is. You were designed not only to believe that God exists, but to know your Creator personally through Jesus.

“The heavens declare the glory of God.” — Psalm 19:1

Romans 1:20 · John 1:3 · John 14:6

02Who does the Bible say Jesus is?

Jesus is not merely a teacher who showed us a better way. Jesus is God who came all the way to us.

The Bible says the eternal Word was God, and the Word became flesh. That is what we celebrate at Christmas: God stepped into human history. He came for a purpose—to take the sin of the world upon Himself and become our Savior.

On Good Friday, Jesus died in our place. On Easter, He rose from the dead. Christianity stands on that miracle: the grave is empty, Jesus is alive, and death does not get the final word.

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” That claim is exclusive—He is the only way to the Father—but His invitation is incredibly inclusive. He loves you. He gave His life for you. You can come to Him today.

“The Word was God … and the Word became flesh.” — John 1:1, 14

1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · John 14:6 · John 3:16

03Who does God accept?

Look at the table Jesus chose. He ate with sinners.

Jesus accepts imperfect people like you and me. Drug addicts, gay people, trans people, religious hypocrites, people who never attend church, skeptics, and people carrying secrets they are ashamed to say out loud—we are all seen, all loved, and all in need of Him.

We do not clean ourselves up so God will love us. God demonstrated His love while we were still sinners. We all come to Jesus the same way: needy, honest, and empty-handed.

Acceptance does not mean sin does not matter. The cross shows how deeply sin matters—and how much more deeply God loves us. Jesus welcomes us as we are, forgives us, and then begins changing us from the inside out.

“The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” — John 6:37

Romans 5:8 · Luke 5:32 · Romans 10:13

04How can I follow Jesus with my life?

Following Jesus is not adding a religious event to your schedule. It is learning to build your whole life around Him.

Jesus said His followers abide in His Word. Start reading the Bible every day, even if you begin with ten quiet minutes in the Gospel of John. Ask: What does this show me about Jesus, and what is my next step of obedience?

Find a Bible-teaching church and show up consistently. Listen to Christian music that turns your attention toward God. Build friendships with Christians who will encourage you, tell you the truth, and pray with you. Talk to God honestly. Serve someone. Obey the next thing Jesus shows you.

You will not follow Jesus perfectly. None of us does. Stay connected to Him. When you fall, get back up, receive His grace, and take the next faithful step.

“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.” — John 8:31

John 15:4–5 · Acts 2:42 · Hebrews 10:24–25

05Do you really believe the Bible is God's Word?

Yes. Not because I checked my brain at the door, but because I have found the Bible worthy of my trust.

The Bible was written across centuries by many human authors, yet it tells one unified story: God pursuing and rescuing people through Jesus. It is remarkably honest about its heroes, grounded in real places and history, filled with fulfilled promises, and built around eyewitness testimony to the risen Christ.

Most importantly, Jesus trusted Scripture. If I trust Jesus, I take His view of the Bible seriously. Scripture says its writers spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. God used real people, personalities, and circumstances to give us His reliable Word.

I do not worship a book; I worship the God the book reveals. But I have watched His Word expose my heart, correct me, steady me, and change lives. The Bible is not afraid of your hard questions. Bring them. Read it honestly, and let God speak for Himself.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.” — 2 Timothy 3:16

2 Peter 1:21 · Psalm 119:105 · Matthew 24:35

A little about me

I'm Chris. Pastor, neighbor, and a good listener.

I'm one of the pastors at Fellowship Baptist Church, and I love helping people discover who Jesus is. Outside of church, I'm a husband, dad, drone pilot, former police chaplain, and township trustee.

If we met somewhere around town, I'd genuinely love to stay connected—and I'd be glad to buy the coffee.
