Good News Church of Ocala

Good News Church of Ocala

Good News Church adheres to historical Christianity and agrees with ancient confessions such as the Apostle's Creed. We believe that the Bible is primarily about the "good news" that even though we are sinners, Jesus Christ came to live the perfect life that we could never live, and then die the death that we all deserve, so that by believing in his life, death, and resurrection we could be in a right relationship with God. That also explains why we chose the name.
