Bringing New Life To The Family
The following is our biblical vision for New Life Church.
We see...
A Church That...
Lives to honor God and please Him by loving Him and loving others (Matthew 22:34-40; Luke 6:46-49).
A Church Where...
People are free from sin, fruitful in every good work, and functioning in some capacity of ministry (Romans 6:18, 22; 8:1; Colossians 1:10; Ephesians 4:11-12).
A Church Where...
Everyone feels loved, valued, and important (Matthew 22:33-40; Philippians 2:3).
A Church That...
Is not afraid to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
A Church That...
Reaches beyond the walls of a building into the lives of the community (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; Acts 2).
A Church That...
Educates and equips believers with accurate biblical knowledge (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Acts 20:20,27; Titus 1:9; 2:1).
A Church With...
Both inspirational preaching and dynamic biblical teaching (Matthew 4:23; Acts 15:35; Acts 28:30-31)
A Church That...
Is vibrant, alive, growing, energetic, and passionate about God and His Word (Luke 19:37-40; Psalm 47:1; Ezra 3:11-13).
A Church Consisting...
Of strong and healthy families (Ephesians 5:22-23; Ephesians 6:1-4; Genesis 18:17-19).
A Church Of...
Small groups that provide ministry, fellowship, and spiritual edification to one another (Acts 2:42-47; 20:20; Hebrews 10:25; Colossians 3:16).
A Church Full...
Of joy for the great things God has done (Acts 8:5-8; 13:46-52; 15:3; Romans 5:11; Romans 14:17; 1 Peter 1:7-8).
A Church Of...
Children and youth who love God, are continuously growing in Him, and live consistent christian lives (Matthew 21:14-16;; Genesis 18:17-19; Ephesians 6:1-4; Psalm 119:9).
A Church That...
Looks like the church: multi-generational, multi-racial, multi- ethnic (Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:10-11).
A Church That...
Sees the value of every generational group and bridges the generational gap by incorporating both contemporary and traditional musical styles (Romans 12:10; 1 Timothy 5:21).
A Church That...
Develops leaders who will go forth in the power of the Holy Spirit to initiate spiritual change in the earth (Zechariah 4:6; Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:8; 4:33; 6:8; 8:5-8; 1 Corinthians 2:4).
A Church That...
Prays and sees the miraculous power of God yet operates spiritual gifts decently and in order (Matthew 17:14-21; 21:13; Acts 1:14; 2:1-4; 3:1-10; 6:1-7; 12:5-7; 16:16-18; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11; 14:26-33, 40).
A Church That...
Extends its ministry influence beyond one city (Acts 1:8; Isaiah 52:10; 66:19; Matthew 24:14; Romans 10:8-18; 15:17-19).
A Church That...
Attempts to do all things with a spirit of excellence (Ecclesiastes 9:10; Colossians 3:23; 1 Corinthians 15:58 AMP).
