Our
Vision
Our primary vision is to show to the
community in which we live that God is alive! By
bringing people together who will demonstrate
this truth through what they believe and how
they live, we aim to offer the saving power of
Jesus to those who do not know Him.
Central to the outworking of this vision is a
desire that New Life Community Church would be a
place of refreshment, healing and counsel - a
place where we can be made whole and learn to
live to the full potential of God's plan for our
lives.
We aim to do this in the following ways:
- Through an emphasis on the preaching of
the Word of God. This will always be at the
heart of our vision as we believe that it is a
central foundation both for the individual's
life and also for the corporate life of the
church. Through the proclamation of that Word we
desire to see people growing into mature men and
women of God.
- Through lively and meaningful expressions
of worship to God in which there is an
encouragement to allow the Holy Spirit to move
among us, releasing His gifts to encourage and
build up the church.
- Through pastoral care and ministry in the
power of the Holy Spirit both at a personal and
family level within the church and in the
community.
- Through evangelistic outreach. We believe
an ongoing and varied evangelistic programme is
essential if we are to reach a broken and
hurting world with the love of God.
- Through serving the community by offering
practical help and support to those in any kind
of need. In this way we believe the gospel will
be seen to be more than words, as we reach out
to the elderly, the lonely, the unemployed, the
single parent family, the bereaved, the
terminally ill, and the young, etc.
