New Song Christian Fellowship
Our Beliefs
As a Church New Song holds to the classical expression of Christianity as taught in the Bible. When God's Word says it we believe it, and with the help of His Holy Spirit we seek to apply it to our lives.
In The Essentials Unity
1. We believe that there is one God who has chosen to reveal Himself
to us as Father, Son (Jesus the Messiah), and Holy Spirit.
2. We believe that there is only one way to salvation and that is
through Jesus' death and resurrection and when we turn from our sin
and believe in who Jesus is and what He has done for us we are saved.
3. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is the only source
for doctrine that is to be rightly applied to our lives by the power and
working of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we teach the Bible verse by
verse and we do not add to or take away from the Bible to make
ourselves or anyone else more comfortable.
In The Non-Essentials Liberty
There are a number of non-essentials in the church world such as the
type of music we use in worship, the way we dress on Sunday
morning, who can do what in the church, end times (we all believe
Jesus is coming back even if we don't agree on what that will look like
when it happens, it's important to remember we are on the welcoming
committee not the planning committee), which version of the Bible we
read from, what kind of movies we watch or music we listen to, among
other things. In all these things we seek to have a biblical
understanding and practice but to also allow others to express their
faith in God, in alignment with the essentials listed above, in a God
honoring and biblical way without judgment. In other words, if your
church looks different from ours but you are still seeking to build His
Kingdom by preaching the gospel and holding to the Word of God, then
we are good.
In All Things Charity
What does this mean? It means we seek to live our lives and practice
our faith, as followers of and apprentices to Jesus, with and in love. We
want to love other people even if we disagree with them or they
disagree with us. We want everyone to know the love of God and
salvation through Jesus alone. We want to love God with all we are and
love our neighbors the way God loves us. If you're curious what that
looks like come visit us on a Sunday morning.
We know this doesn't look like your typical statement of faith, and we're ok with that. If you want the details about what this means to us with Scripture references feel free to reach out to us on our contact page and we will gladly provide you with those details.
