OUr Mission, Vision and BEliefs
Vision Statement
To nurture ambassadors for Christ that impact the culture by being our most accurate reflection of how God desires to operate in His world today. This is how we sing our New Song.
Founding Scripture
"And they sang a New Song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God by Your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation. You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth." Revelation 5:9-10 (CSB)
New Song Church Affirming Christian Ministry is a member of the Covenant Network of churches.
Mission
New Song Church Affirming Christian Ministry serves LGBTQ and straight allies, children of God from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. Among us are men, women, and non-binary believers reclaiming our faith both individually and corporately within the Body of Christ. We hold that the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ promises eternal life as a free gift to whoever believes in Him.
Too often, religion is used to divide and exclude or is misappropriated for political or other purposes. By contrast, our mission is to help you nurture your relationship with Christ - by being a safe, healthy space for absolutely anyone and everyone who desires to cultivate their faith.
We enter into relationship with Christ by receiving His salvation, and the redemption it offers based on who He is, and what He did on Calvary to atone for our sins. We further develop this relationship with Christ through baptism in God’s Holy Spirit as well as baptism in water. We grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord through participation in liberating worship, careful study of the Bible, regular times of individual and corporate prayer and by hearing God’s words through Scripture, sermons, teaching, and prophecy.
The Bible serves as our highest authority. We hold that the truths it establishes are not exclusionary, gender or race-biased, or anti-gay. We are not ashamed of the name of Jesus Christ because Christ is not ashamed of us. As our founding Scripture states, Christ was slain to redeem us all. He now lives anew within us because God loves us. Therefore, we boldly endeavor to be a church community that demonstrates God’s love, follows His word, walks in His Spirit, and pursues His presence.
