MISSION & PRIORITIES

The Wind In Our Sails

THE MISSION

To build a healthy, biblical church where people find life, growth, and destiny in Jesus Christ, which, along with other churches, works to reach our city and beyond with the Good News.

THE PRIORITIES

We believe a church body must be active in a few certain areas to be healthy and vibrant. We use the acronym P.O.W.E.R. to remind us of these aspects of our faith that are equally important.

P

PRAYER

We need God’s power to fulfill His call.

O

OUTREACH

Jesus came to seek and save the lost.

W

WORSHIP

We are called into intimate fellowship with God.

E

EQUIPPING

We are all called to be ministers.

R

RELATIONSHIP

Our love for God is seen in our love for one another.

THE STRATEGY

Our strategy focuses on three key purposes in the Christian’s life…

COMMUNITY

The need to be a part of the body of Christ in order to find support, encouragement, and a sense of belonging.

MATURITY

The idea that we are called to be constantly maturing in our faith in order to be more equipped to serve God.

MINISTRY

The call to serve with the gifts God has given us in a collaborative effort to fulfill the mission of the Church.

NEXT STEPS

To help our members better pursue these purposes, we recommend three avenues of involvement:

1.

TRAINING

Take our Pathways to Involvement courses.

2.

SERVICE

Seek ways to serve at New Life and in your community.

3.

LIFE GROUPS

Join a life group where you can find spiritual strengthening and community.
