What we believe shapes how we worship, how we live, and how we serve. At New Life Christian Church, we seek to be a people shaped by the truth of God's Word and centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
THE BIBLE
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. It is therefore sufficient for all Christian life and teaching.
Proverbs 30:5-6, 2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:16-21
GOD
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Genesis 1:1-2, 26, John 1:1-29, Acts 5:3, Revelation 5:9-14
JESUS CHRIST
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His substitutionary and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Hebrews 2:5-18, Revelation 22:6-21
THE CHURCH
We believe the Church is the body of Christ and exists to carry out His mission on earth.
Ephesians 4:11–16
SALVATION
We believe that salvation comes through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. Grace, by its definition, cannot be earned but is freely given to believers by God.
John 5:19-29, Ephesians 2:1-10
HUMANITY & SIN
We believe that all people are lost and sinful and will never find grace apart from God.
Genesis 3, Romans 3:23-24, Ephesians 2:1-3
THE HOLY SPIRIT
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit. Only by His power is the Christian regenerated and enabled to live a godly life and understand the Bible.
Proverbs 1:7, John 16:4-15, Galatians 5:22-26, Titus 3:3-8, Ephesians 2:4-5
RESURRECTION
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to the resurrection of life with God in Heaven, and they that are lost to the resurrection of eternal conscious torment in Hell.
John 14:1-6, 1 Corinthians 2:9, Revelation 22:1-5, Daniel 12:2, Matthew 10:28, Revelation 21:8.
BAPTISM
We believe that repentant believers in Christ should be baptized by immersion in water, in obedience to Christ.
Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:36-41, Galatians 3:27-28, Colossians 2:12-15, Romans 6:3-4
MARRIAGE & FAMILY
We believe God designed marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman, and that sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage. We believe the family is a gift from God, with parents called to raise their children in the knowledge and instruction of the Lord.
Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6; Ephesians 5:31–33; Ephesians 6:4
