New Song Christian Church

Our Statement of Faith

In essential beliefs we have unity.

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus."  Romans 15:5

In nonessential beliefs we have liberty.

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened by a yoke of slavery."  Galatians 5:1

In all our beliefs we show love.

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who   loves has been born of God and knows God."  I John 4:7

God - We believe there is one God; who is creator and maker of the universe, existing eternally and manifesting himself in three persons: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, who are one in essence and equal in power and glory.

Jesus Christ - We believe that God has revealed Himself to humanity in the person of Jesus Christ. He is fully God and fully man, the eternal and only begotten Son of God.  Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, making atonement for our sins by His death on the cross.

Holy Spirit - We believe that God is present in the world today in the person of the Holy Spirit who draws us to faith in Jesus and who bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He empowers believers to manifest the character of Christ, as evidenced by the fruits of the Spirit. We rely upon the Holy Spirit and believe in spiritual gifts.  Spiritual giftedness and faithfulness determines where and how we serve.  

Bible - We believe the Bible, consisting of all the books of the Old and New Testaments, is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God.

Humanity - We believe that God created men and women in His image, but rather than loving God, human sin has resulted in eternal separation from God and causes many problems in life.  We believe that repentance from sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to come into a relationship with God.

Salvation - We believe that humanity can be saved from the consequence of sin, which is eternal death, by the grace of God through his faith in Jesus Christ. Humanity cannot earn nor work for it's salvation. When one is saved he or she is said to be "born again" by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.  

Baptism and Communion - We believe that baptism is by immersion and it serves as a demonstration of our living faith in Christ.  Baptism is the initial act of obedient faith.  We believe that celebrating communion together weekly is beneficial for all Christians.  

Church - We believe the church is the greatest force that God has established upon the earth to make an eternal difference in the lives of people.  So, we believe that active participation in a local church is essential for all Christians.  We are an independent Christian Church that is not connected to any denominational structure.  We are interdenominational in that we welcome people from all backgrounds.
