About UsNew Life's Mission:TO IDENTIFY AND COMPASSIONATELY RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF THOSE SEEKING HEALING AND RESTORATION THROUGH GOD'S TRUTH
New Life's Core Values:CONNECTION, TRUTH, TRANSFORMATION New Life's Faith Statement:As a professional organization we set forth the following
beliefs, which have been agreed to by the professional and support
staff of New Life Ministries. These beliefs are essential to our
treatment philosophy and
ministry.
- We believe
the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, inerrant,
authoritative Word of God.
- We
believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He has revealed Himself in creation,
history, and in Jesus
Christ.
- We believe in God's
creation of the world and humankind and in humanity's rebellion and
subsequent depravity.
- We
believe in the person and work of Jesus Christ, including His deity,
His virgin birth, His sinless life, His true humanity, His miracles,
His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to
heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father, and in His coming
personal return in power and in
glory.
- We believe that for the
salvation of the lost, sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential. We believe that salvation is by grace through
faith in Christ as one's
Savior.
- We believe in the
present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian
is enabled to live a godly life and to grow in the knowledge of God and
Christian obedience.
- We believe
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost---the saved unto the
resurrection of life and the lost unto the resurrection of
damnation.
- We believe in the
spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and in the
importance of the church for worship, service and
missions.
- We believe in the
sanctity of life, and do not believe in
abortion.
- We believe in the
importance of marriage. Specifically, that marriage is a covenant
relationship between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24), and that a
person’s sex (male or female) is determined by God in the womb (Psalm
139:13) and revealed at birth.
We further
believe that marriage is a covenant relationship that is mirrored in
the relationship between Christ and His Church (Revelation 19:7, 21:2,
21:9). And although the Bible states that divorce is
permissible in two unusual circumstances (adultery as described in
Matthew 5:31, and abandonment of a Christian by a non-Christian as
described in I Corinthians 7:15), we will do all we can to preserve
marriage.
- We believe that all
psychological principles should be thoroughly evaluated through the
grid of Scripture, and that Scripture always holds the final
authority.
