Our Purpose
The purpose of the church is summed up in the commission Christ gave His disciples just before He ascended to Heaven: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:18–20).
Love God
Loving God begins in the heart, with a personal relationship with Him. As we gather and participate in Christ-honoring worship services and respond to the preaching of God’s Word, this love flourishes. Mark 12:30 says, “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”
Love People
We are all broken people with scars and baggage; but God still has a place for each of us to belong, and that place is New Life Baptist Church. We serve others as we find a place of ministry in the local body. We also serve by sharing the Gospel with those who need the Lord—through witnessing to friends, coworkers, neighbors, and loved ones, as well as in participating in church outreach and giving to missions.
Make Disciples
As we, through Gods divine work, find victory in our lives; we share this others. Helping them pick up the broken pieces like Jesus helps up pick up ours. Teaching others to serve and give ourselves to God. We grow together, in Christ, through the study of God’s Word. This occurs in our weekly services, in our fellowships, and in one-on-one discipleship.
