We are committed to equipping the body to love God and love people in order to fulfill the Great Commission.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
-Matthew 28:18-20
The core of our mission statement comes from two commandments that God gave His people all the way back in the book of Deuteronomy. In the New Testament, Jesus reminds His listeners what those commandments are:
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’t There is no commandment greater than these.”
-Mark 12:29-31
Our vision, here at New Life First Baptist, is simple:
We exist to make disciples who make disciple as we G.R.O.W together.
OUR PATHWAY TO GROWTH:
Gathering as a body of believers to encourage one another in love and action
Reaching others to encourage a growing relationship with God and others
Offering our time, talent and treasure to serve the body of Christ
Working together to share the gospel of Christ both near and far
VALUES:
We value God’s Word as our guide
We value Prayer in our daily lives
We value Worship as our way of life
During authentic worship:
- God is glorified (Leviticus 10:3; Psalm 223)
- The believer is purified (Psalm 24:1-4)
- The church is edified (I Corinthians 14:12)
- The unsaved are evangelized (John 4:20-26)
