What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of New Life Assembly. All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in and flows out of these biblical doctrines.

The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God and serves as God's revelation to man. It is fully reliable, totally infallible, and the sole authoritative rule of faith and conduct.

The one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He has further revealed Himself as embodying the principles of relationship and association as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God. His birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection and ascension all give evidence to His Lordship over all life.

The Holy Spirit is the eternal, third Person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is active today abiding within the believer to encourage, empower, and guide in all aspects of the Christian life.

When Adam and Eve chose not to obey God, they ceased to be what they were made to be and became distorted images of God. This caused them to fall out of fellowship with God, and fractured all of creation ever since that time.

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us with God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. God raised him from the dead and now, by grace, offers as a free gift eternal life to all who follow Christ, by faith, as their Lord and Savior. Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ. Its purpose is to worship God, teach others to be Christ's disciples, to provide a place of love, acceptance and forgiveness, and engage the world and its suffering for Christ's sake.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom. This is the Blessed Hope of the church.

There is both a heaven and a hell. Their inhabitants are determined in the final judgment according to how they responded to Jesus Christ and His gospel.
