"The wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

We want to share God's gift offer of eternal life with everyone who comes into contact with the Sidney Evangelical Free Church.

In order to receive this gift of life, people must first understand the fact that they are separated from God because of their sin. As a result, they are destined for eternal death and separation from God in hell.

They must also understand that because of God's love for mankind, Jesus Christ came into the world to suffer the punishment that we all deserve by dying on the cross for our sin.

Finally - at some point in this life, they must trust the risen Christ to forgive them and give to them eternal life. Turning away from sin and self, and humbly turning to Jesus Christ by faith alone is the only way that anyone can have a right relationship with God the Father. "To all who received Him (Jesus), to all who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God..." (John 1:12).

Please contact us if you would like to know more about receiving this life changing "gift of God".
