New Life Community Church
Statement of Faith
We Believe
in one God, creator, infinite in love, forgiving and just. Unchanging in
mercy and grace, God exists eternally in Three Persons; Father, Son and
Holy Spirit.
We Believe
that Jesus Christ is the unique Son of God. Jesus was fully man and
fully God, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin
Mary. He offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all
people by dying on the cross. He rose from the dead after three days,
having conquered sin and death. He ascended into heaven where He
intercedes for us to the Father. Jesus will return to reign forever.
We Believe
that the Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father and the Son. The Holy
Spirit lives in every believer from the moment he/she accepts Jesus as
Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts the believer of sin, enables
understanding of the Scriptures, and empowers him/her to live a godly
life.
We Believe
that the Bible is the inspired word of God for all people. The Bible is
flawless, trustworthy and is the supreme authority for life and faith.
We Believe
that God created humanity in His image. We are the highest of God's
earthly creation, designed to have a relationship with God. Because of
sin, we have been alienated from God and we are all in need of God's
redemptive work to restore the relationship God intended.
We Believe
that salvation is the gift of God's grace and mercy. It cannot be earned
or added to by good works. All who repent and believe in Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior are forgiven of their sins, born into new life in the
family of God and receive the gift of eternal life.
We Believe
in the priesthood of all believers, the unity of the Body of Christ and
the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry.
