Where hope never quits and grace is endless

At Cokesbury, we believe that church is a place where all different kinds of people come together to find Jesus. And when you find Jesus, you find hope, healing, community, and connection. Church should be a safe place for you, whoever you are, wherever you come from, no matter your baggage…no ifs, ands, or buts. The church should always be looking for what needs to be done and get after it. When life gets messy, the church should run in rather than run away. We strive to be a church like this.
