Our Vision
Our Vision for New Life is to become...
A Christian community where God
transforms all kinds of people.
-
First we are Christian – we acknowledge our sin problem and accept
God’s solution in Jesus Christ. We realize that all our behaviors
and attitudes are not perfect, but we are convinced that Jesus Christ
rose from dead and we have made personal and decisive commitments to
follow him.
-
We are a community, which is more than just a collection of individuals
who share a common project. Because we are Christ-followers, God
gives each of us his Spirit. It is his Spirit who binds us into a
community that does life together.
-
God transforms people around here. We are not transforming
ourselves. We invite God’s Spirit to redesign our hearts to be like
Jesus’ heart: full of love for God and for other people.
-
And our community includes all kinds of people. Some of our
families have been Christians for generations; many are first
generation Christ followers. Some of our families have been in
America for generations; many of us are immigrants. Some of us are
mature adults; many are children. Some of us are complex thinkers;
many are profoundly simple. Some of us have substantial resources;
many live on tight budgets. It is exciting to live in a Christian
community where we experience God transforming so many kinds of people.
