CORE VALUES

OUTREACH — We believe lost people matter to God, and they should matter to us.

CULTURAL RELEVANCE — We believe the church should be culturally relevant while remaining true to the Bible.

COMMUNITY — We believe fulfillment in life is found through living in partnership with God and those around us.

TEAM — We believe doing church as a team is God’s design for effective ministry.

MATURIT Y — We believe spiritual maturity is best measured by the presence of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives.

LEADERSHIP — We believe the purposes of healthy leadership are primarily influence, training and support… not power, authority and control.

SERVICE — We believe God expects all Christians to use their talents, gifts, and life experiences to serve others.

EXCELLENCE— We believe all ministry should be done with excellence because God deserves our very best.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL — We believe the local church should be an independent community of believers under the authority of and accountable to Jesus alone.

So what is New Life all about?

Simply put, it's three things.

A REAL GOD -- The one and only God... the one you read about in the Bible... is the center of our worship and life. He is the One who gives us love, forgiveness, joy and energy. New Life belongs to Him.

REAL PEOPLE -- The members of New Life are just ordinary people who go through the same problems and experiences as every other person on planet Earth. We don't pretend to be something we're not. We struggle in life, but we're winning. We're finding answers to the everyday situations of life, and we're finding the strength to live victoriously where we used to fail. We're honest with each other. We encourage each other. And we celebrate every victory.

And that's REAL LIFE! -- We're doing more than just going to work, taking the kids to soccer and going on an occasional vacation. We're building lasting marriages and healthy, happy homes. We're overcoming habits that once defeated us. We're building friendships that will last a lifetime...and beyond. We're helping our friends and neighbors. And perhaps most importantly, we’re giving the next generation hope and a reason to live. You see, New Life is a real God interacting in love with real people, giving us real life! We have found that getting to know God is life’s greatest adventure, and we invite you to join us on this exciting journey!
