Chris takes some time to express the values and vision that define who we are as a fellowship..
Check out our new website : www.newcovenantchristianfellowship.com
Here's a taste...
We are the...
- Beloved - our journey of faith is a love story and our worship is a response.
- Redeemed - we are rescued from the lineage of sin and death by God's mercy through faith in Jesus Christ.
- Sons in the Lord - men and women adopted into the Family of God, orphans no more!
- United in the Spirit - our community is the byproduct of love and the Spirit of Christ stands between us.
- Empowered - as Kingdom people, we rest in the power of God at work in our lives...His name is Holy Spirit.
- Visionaries - God has a compelling vision over each of our lives. May we discover and share that vision in the confidence of our unique design.
You may not find us...
- Striving - we're less motivated by earning God's approval or His affections; both are a given.
- Building the Church - that's Jesus' role. Our's is to seek first and lay hold of the Kingdom of God.
- Arguing - Not all roads lead to God and yet Jesus, the Way, loves people so much he'd be willing to walk every road to find them.
- Judging - While we endeavor to discern the truth of God's word, we have little desire to hold judgement in our hearts towards another.
We are a fellowship of believers who desire to walk in authentic relationship with the Trinity and with one another. As we allow ourselves to receive the healing love of God, we experience a deeper integration of truth. We experience wholeness, peace and joy. This journey of discovery changes our view of God, how we see ourselves and how we see each other. We become our true-selves in Christ Jesus. This process is our hope for authenticity.
God is our Father and we are his beloved children. We believe sons in the Lord out-serve "slaves" everyday. Therefore, we are under little compulsion to earn our place in the Father's heart. We understand our righteousness before God is a gift that is offered in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and in the power of his resurrected life at work in our souls.
We recognize that our individual responsibility is to respond to the assignment the Father invites each of us to participate in. Our corporate responsibility is to share our many unique expressions with one another as we receive and submit our lives to the grace-gifts of those we receive. In this way, we are a Church for the City...a corporaste expression of Jesus by bringing the reality of His Kingdom to our neighbors and to the nations.
