New Life Baptist Church Distinctives

Theology

Above all, we desire that Christ receive the Glory, honor, and praise that only He deserves. The church belongs to Him. We believe that “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). We teach through the Bible verse by verse to present God’s whole counsel. Theology, or truth about God, must come from His word alone.

We hold to the theological concepts of the Christian Protestant Reformation in that we believe that the Bible is the only source of faith and practice for all men. The Bible teaches that salvation comes through grace alone (it is unmerited), through faith alone (it is not based on our works), in Christ alone, as taught in the Word of God alone, and God alone is worthy of Glory (John 14:6; Ephesians 2:8-10; 2 Timothy 3:16, John 5:39; Jude 1:24, Is. 46:9-11).

Edification

One of the church’s primary functions is to equip God’s people to live their lives set apart from the world, and unto God (Ephesians 4:11-16). The Ordinary Means of Grace for the church, are the Word of God, prayer, singing, and the ordinances-of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These along with fellowship and discipleship build-up the faith of believers (1 Thessalonians 5:11, Romans 14:19, 1 Peter 2:9, Romans 12:1).

Evangelization

Jesus Christ Himself commands of all believers to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15-20). At NLBC we emphasize the importance of outreach and seek to expand the gospel to every far corner of the globe, starting in our local community (Acts 1:8).
