go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age." NIV

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

OUR VISION

Our vision at New Life is to reach all kinds of people with the message of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to win as many people as we can to Christ before He returns. This is the great commission of Christ that He gave to the church (Matthew 28:19, 20). In order to accomplish this great task, we need to use various methods of evangelism and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

At New Life, we believe God has called us to be a multi-cultural church, unified around the person of Jesus Christ. As a local Church, we strive to be a friendly and warm church. We are committed to loving others the way Christ loves us, and to minister to the various needs of people. We see our church as a "spiritual hospital," ministering the full grace of Jesus to others.

Our ultimate goal is to bring people to full maturity in Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13), and to teach and train believers to be disciples/ministers of Jesus. It is our vision as a church to see many effective disciples/ministers of Jesus raised up at New Life, doing the works of Jesus in these last days.
