VALUES OF NEW HOPE COMMUNITY CHURCH:
The Presence of God:
We are committed to ministry to the Lord in worship as our highest ministry priority. In all our corporate
gatherings we invoke and welcome his presence, seeking to worship him as he desires and directs.
Prayer:
We are committed to be a prayer-based church in which intercession is regularly and powerfully made for every member
and every ministry of New Hope, and needs in the larger body of Christ, our city, our nation, and the world.
The Balance of Word and Spirit:
We are committed to the practical exposition of the Scriptures and the exercise of all the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We believe that “all Word and we dry up, all Spirit and we blow up, Spirit and Word together, we grow up.”
The Great Commission:
We are committed to obedience to Jesus’ command to make disciples (apprentices of Jesus) of all nations, effectively
reaching pre-Christians in our own culture and un-reached peoples in other cultures with the gospel of the kingdom.
The Upcoming Generations:
We are committed to equip the children and youth of our church to be passionate followers
of Jesus who impact their generations for the kingdom of God.
Every Member Ministry:
We are committed to the “priesthood of all believers.” We regard all believers as ministers and view the primary function of church
leaders to be that of coaches/consultants in assisting people in discovering and being released in their own “kingdom callings.”
Unity in the Body of Christ:
We are committed to the one body of Christ in this region, in its many and diverse local expressions. We desire to be
“partners in the gospel” with other churches in co-operative projects to advance the kingdom of God.
