New Life Community Church will liberate the lost through lifestyle evangelism.  We will not only preach the Word but live it through our lives and our actions.  We will reach into our community, sharing that there is hope beyond life’s circumstances.  We will reach out through small groups and provide a seeker-sensitive service on Sundays.  The word “seeker” is defined as one who is in search of spiritual life.  This person is not a Christian.  This service will endeavor to make the seeker feel comfortable, accepted through unconditional love, and impressed that God is relevant to them today.  We will present the gospel message without compromise but will use creative means that will appeal to the hearts, minds, and souls of all those who are seeking.  We will liberate all people by standing against all forms of discrimination.  We will strive to have a church that is cross-cultural, racially mixed, and financially diverse.  All these differences will be the strength of the church.  We will always seek to serve God, one another, and the community unconditionally (1 Peter 4:7-11).  The church’s resolve should be reflected in the prayer below:

         More than anything else in heaven or on earth,

I pray for the power to love my fellow person, to break through the condemning bigotry, the crippling prejudice, the stifling self-centeredness that smothers God’s Spirit within me, and to channel and communicate divine love to lonely, loveless people about me. And I pray as well for the ability to translate the message of God’s eternal love into words and action that will pierce the hearts of busy men and women and move their hearts to faith and obedience to Christ.

New Life Community Church will also liberate hurting Christians from the bondage of religious legalism and traditional ritual.  We will accomplish this by not allowing manmade rules to be a part of our church doctrine and practices (Matt. 23).

 New Life Community Church will also make disciples.  We will provide biblical instruction to help all new converts grow and mature in Christ.  We will also seek to implant into older Christians the mandate to “show thyself approved” through study and that we are to continue our spiritual growth.  Groups and classes will be instituted to help with the renewing of the mind.  Our members will aid in discipleship as well as our leaders.  We will seek to disciple so that our church will be active in body ministry (Matt. 28:16-20).

 New Life Community Church’s leadership will model servant leadership as demonstrated by our Lord Jesus Christ (John 13).  Our leadership will promote and live the three mottos:

 “I choose to lose to God!” -“I will have no pride!” - “I will not quit serving the Lord!”
