Love God Passionately // Love People Tangibly
This is our mission, our calling, our purpose. This is why we were created. This dual mission drives everything we do, and it's how we try to live out the commands of Jesus.
Essentials We Believe
- There is one God, eternally existing in three co-equal Persons (Romans 8; Ephesians 1:13-14).
- God, out of love for his children, sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and to rise from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-8).
- The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the final authority in life and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16).
- Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved. This salvation is available for any who put their trust in Christ as Savior (Romans 3:23, 6:23; John 3:16).
- Those trusting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:38).
- The church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the task of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping them become fully devoted followers of Christ (Ephesians 4:1-16).
- Christ will one day return and reign forever (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
- When we die, we will either be eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through faith in Jesus. (John 3:16; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:10,15)
Core Values
The good news about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection is the focus of our mission. It's all about Jesus, it's all for Jesus, and Jesus gets all the credit.
We are all baptized by one Spirit. We actively seek and expect the Holy Spirit’s guidance, direction and empowerment.
We read it, meditate on it, teach it, and apply it to our lives by embracing Biblical values as a lifestyle.
Intimate and passionate worship fuels what we do, and it sensitizes us to God's power and presence. It's our highest calling. The Lover of our souls delights in our delight of Him.
Like worship, prayer is an important part of our relationship with Jesus. We believe that prayer changes things. We embrace the Biblical reality that spiritual warfare is the context of our lives. Prayer is a powerful spiritual resource in our battle to advance the Kingdom.
We believe all people matter to God. We believe that we are especially called to care for the hurting, the broken, the poor, and the marginalized. We are a healing community.
We are relationship driven in every area of ministry. We share life through Christ-centered small groups. We have a relational approach to evangelism and discipleship.
God created human sexuality and marriage intentionally and for our good. Therefore we affirm the Biblical definition of marriage as the uniting of a man and a woman in covenant relationship for a lifetime. All intimate sexual activity outside the Biblical marriage relationship, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or otherwise, is immoral and therefore sin. Jesus clearly restated this for the church. We all struggle with sin, often in the issue of sexuality. Regardless of your personal sin struggles you are welcome at New Heights. Our hope is to extend grace while never compromising truth. However, New Heights will not recognize same-sex marriages and our staff will not perform same-sex marriage ceremonies.
(Gen 1:27; Gen 2:19-25; Exodus 20:14 & 17; Matt 19:3-9; Rom 1:18-32; 1 Cor 6:9-20; Jude 7)
We work to make disciples both locally and globally, from every race and culture. We send out workers and plant churches so that “the Lamb who was slain will receive the reward for His suffering."
Within the bounds of historic Christianity, we will focus on the Savior who unites us and the essential truths of scripture rather than smaller issues that divide us.
God calls every believer to serve, and gives them gifts to use, therefore we release people to serve. On Sunday mornings we encourage people to worship one service and serve one.
We're all called to serve, so we serve together. Two are always better that one. Teams provide encouragement, accountability, and increased effectiveness as we serve together.
We embrace sacrificial living and generous giving as a way of life. We leverage our time, talents, influence, and financial resources for Christ’s Kingdom.
