The Mission, Values, and Goals at New Life
Our Vision
"God's Rejoicing" Wouldn't it
be marvelous if each time God thought about New Life and the faith-filled
activities happening with her people, God was tickled with joyfulness?
Our Mission
"To Know Ourselves as Christ Knows Us" Christ knows
us and our full potential. Our mission is to be so spiritually equipped
that we have the same knowledge.
Our Core Values
We believe that what follows are the essential values that God has instilled in the people gathering, called New Life. They are foundational to what we believe and do. We come to know ourselves as Christ knows us by "Loving God" "Loving People" "Building Christian Community" "Growing Spiritually" and "Sharing Christ" and through the excitement of our expanding faith, God rejoices.
- Loving God - we believe that, as Christ's followers, we are continually
encouraged into a profound experience and renewed understanding of the
power of God's love for us and the privilege of our love for God. We
love God. Scripture:
Matthew 22:37 - You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind.
- Loving People - we believe that because of God's eternal and essential
love for us, we are moved to share the same love with others,. In doing so,
God's love for us becomes even more apparent. We love people. Scripture:
1 John 4:7, 12 - Dear friends, let us love one another,
for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows
God. If we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete
in us.
- Building Christian Community- we believe that, through the joy of
discovering and using our spiritual gifts, we function as a unified
community for the purpose of giving honor to God. We are a Christian
community. Scripture: Romans
15:5-6 - May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live
in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together
you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- Growing Spiritually - we believe that we are called into a "transformational
relationship" with our Lord. As we deepen our experience of God, becoming
more spiritually mature, our lives are changed and we find ourselves living
the way that God has always intended. We are spiritual beings. Scripture:
Colossians 3:15-16 - Let the peace of Christ rule in
your hearts, since as members of the one body you were called to peace. And
be thankful. Let
the word of God dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another
with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude
in your hearFts to God.
- Sharing Jesus - we believe that our lives reflect to others the presence
of God's glorious spirit. We are living witnesses of the presence and power
of Jesus. We share Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 5:16 - let
your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and
give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 28:18-20 - And
Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember,
I am with you always, to the end of the age."
