What We Believe | |
|

Our Faith . . . Our beliefs center on the saving death and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of the one true God; and with the Holy Spirit, this is the full presentation of God in three separate persons. The authority for that faith is the Bible — both the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament looks to the coming of Jesus. The New Testament recounts his Life, Death and Resurrection. The Scriptures promise that one day he will return in glory to establish his Kingdom forever. We believe that the Holy Scriptures contain all things necessary for life and salvation. The Bible guides our teaching at New Life Anglican Church.
The Gospel . . . The good news of the Christian faith is that even though all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, Jesus’ death and resurrection has made it possible for us to be forgiven, saved, and restored to the glorious life intended for us. We who were separated from God can know Him personally by receiving his free gift of salvation and trusting in His goodness and mercy. We are never “good enough” to earn our salvation, but we can be sure of eternal life by putting our trust in Jesus Christ.
Spirit-Filled Living . . . The Holy Spirit is given to all who confess Jesus is Lord. He seeks to change us and make us more like Christ in every way. He develops in us godly virtues and characteristics like love, joy, patience, peace, and humility. He also empowers us to live for God and be free from sin. We are given gifts and abilities for ministry. We believe that the ministries of the Holy Spirit seen in the New Testament are good gifts that God still gives to Christians today, and that He still desires to pour out His life into us.
This isn’t about religion—it’s about a relationship.
