Our Mission
The mission of New Life Pentecostal Church is to seek and bring the message of Biblical Salvation to the lost according to the ’New Birth” message of Acts 2:38. We strive to feed
the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothing to those without, encourage the discouraged, and set the captives free with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as the Apostle Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15:1-6.
New Life Pentecostal church, endeavoring to base all of our teaching and our lives on a straightforward reading of the Scripture and a practical application of biblical principles. As such, we believe...
About the Bible
We believe the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God, and that it is the
only authority for establishing doctrine, faith, hope and instruction for Christian
living (II Timothy 3:15-17).
About God
The first and greatest commandment is this: “Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is
one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29). We believe this one true God has
revealed Himself as our Father in Creation, through His Son Jesus Christ in
Redemption, and as the Holy Spirit in Regeneration (I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians
4:4-6; Colossians 2:9; I Timothy 3:16).
About Sin and Salvation
Everyone has sinned and needs salvation. Salvation comes by grace through
faith based on the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:23-25; 6:23;
Ephesians 2:8-9).
About the Gospel
The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and
rose again. Our response to the Gospel is to identify with His death, burial and
resurrection through repentance (death to sin), water baptism in the name of
Jesus Christ (burial), and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit (resurrection)
(I Corinthians 15:1-4; Acts 2:4, 37-39; Romans 6:3-4).
About Christian Living
The prophet Micah declared, “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and
what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with thy God?” (Micah 6:8). We believe that Christian living consists
of doing what is right, compassionately serving others, and pursuing a
relationship with God.
About The Church
We believe in covenanting with a community of believers through a local church
assembly. It is through the ministry of the Church that believers are strengthened
in their faith and opportunity to serve others. When believers gather together
for worship, they can expect the Presence of the Lord to be there and for the
supernatural gifts of the Spirit to minister (Mathew 18:20; Mark 12:28-31;
II Corinthians 7:1; Hebrews 12:14; I Corinthians 12:8-10).
About The Future
Jesus Christ is coming again to catch away His church. We believe His return is imminent. The righteous will inherit eternal life and the unrighteous eternal death. (I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 20:11-15)
