We exist to make God known

We believe that God has called us to announce His love to this world. Through our lives, jobs, families, and friendships, we are committed to demonstrating God's immeasurable love as best we can. When Jesus preached to the crowds in the book of Luke, He was quick to say that we are called to love those who are hard to love - not just the ones who love you in return. New Life Fellowship exists to do just that - express God's unending love and mercy to those who need it most. Jesus said it best in Luke 6:35-38:


"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you."

What We Believe

REDEEMED AND

RECONCILED

The mission of New Life Fellowship is to glorify God by making disciples through the gospel of Jesus Christ. God’s mission and the mission of His Church are inseparably linked. If God’s mission is to be glorified through the redemption and reconciliation of a people, the Church’s mission must orient around the glory of God and seek to glorify Him through redemption and reconciliation.

EMPOWERED

TRANSFORMATION

Our vision is to be a church of grace-filled people, empowered for community transformation and new church formation, so that the Gospel is faithfully transferred from person to person and generation to generation. As Jesus Christ works in and through us by His Holy Spirit to fulfill our mission and pursue our vision, we expect to see results in three areas: Community Transformation, New Church Formation, Next Generation Empowerment.

SACRED

SPACE

The Gospel is ultimately about humanity being restored to God’s community. Only through practicing community will individuals grow fully in the grace and knowledge to be found in Jesus. Furthermore, it is through community that a fragmented world can best witness the power of the Gospel and the nature of God’s work. As a culture of confession, transformation, friendship, forgiveness, justice, power, and love springs up in the lives of normal people, those who don’t know Christ will be compelled to ask: "what is happening?"


MISSIONAL

COMMUNITY

Connect (or "Missional") Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings - in the synagogues - as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one another. God has reconciled us not only to Himself but also to each other. This "each other" is called His Church.

God is the Author

No matter what your story is, God has written it. Whether you've come from a diverse and rough background, or a relatively easy one, God is the ultimate author of your story. New Life Fellowship values focusing on the mind in attempting to accomplish our goal as a church. "As a man thinks, so he is" (Proverbs 23:7). A sound mind (the mind of Christ - I Corinthians 2:16) will lead to godly thoughts, godly conduct, godly habits, and godly character.


THE BIBLE

The Bible is God's Word to all people. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.



TRINITY

God has existed in relationship with Himself for all eternity. He exists as One in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Although each person of the Trinity serves different functions, they each possess equal power and authority.



THE FATHER

God is great. He is all powerful, all knowing, ever present, unchanging, completely worthy of our trust, and above all, holy. It is in Him that we live, move, and exist. God is good. He is our Father. He is loving, compassionate, and faithful to His people and His promises.



THE SON

Jesus Christ is completely man but, at the same time, completely God. He is the only plan for bringing people who are far from God back into a right relationship with God. He lived a perfect life, so that He could be a substitution for us in satisfying God's demands for perfection. He defeated death in His resurrection so that we can have life.



THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit's presence assures us of our relationship with Christ. He guides believers into all truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sin, God's righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.



ETERNITY

Man was created to exist forever. He will exist either eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is Heaven. Heaven and Hell are places of eternal existence.
