Who we are
Our faith at Elyon Christian Church is that we are the chosen people of God. He proved this by giving up the greatest treasure in heaven — His own Son Jesus — so that we could have eternal life with Him. When we understand this, His grace completely changes us from the inside out. That's the glory of resting in God the Father's unending mercy and grace. We welcome people of all backgrounds and walks of life into our church family.

oUR PRIORITY IS YOU.
Stop here and Read.
As you grow to know us better, I want you to understand that God is not in a state of hostility toward you in any way. He does not despise you but rather he is really enthusiastic about you. You may be on the lowest level of life, but know that even if you do not know God, you are still very much loved. This applies even if you are not a child of God. God cares so deeply about you that He desires to bring you back to a position where you may live your life with honor and sanity. You have always been and will continue to be God's first priority. You are God's project, and regardless of what others may say about you, regardless of the voices that stand against you, and regardless of the storms that stand against you, you will prevail; simply because God is on your side.
