As a church, New Song holds to the classical expression of Christianity as taught in the Bible. When God's Word says it, we believe it; and with the help of His Holy Spirit, we seek to apply it to our lives.

​

In The Essentials Unity

​

1. We believe that there is one God who has chosen to reveal Himself to us as Father, Son (Jesus the Messiah), and Holy Spirit.

​

2. We believe that there is only one way to salvation and that is through Jesus' death and resurrection and when we turn from our sin and believe in who Jesus is and what He has done for us we are saved.

 

3. We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is the only source for doctrine that is to be rightly applied to our lives by the power and working of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we teach the Bible verse by verse and we do not add to or take away from the Bible to make ourselves or anyone else more comfortable.

​

In The Non-Essentials Liberty

​

There are a number of non-essentials in the church world such as the type of music we use in worship, the way we dress on Sunday morning, who can do what in the church, which version of the Bible we read, and end times, among other things. (For example, we all believe Jesus is coming back even if we don't agree on what that will look like when it happens. It's important to remember we are on the welcoming committee not the planning committee.)

 

In all these things we seek to have a Biblical understanding and practice. But we also allow others to express their faith in God, in alignment with the essentials listed above, in a God-honoring and Biblical way without judgment. In other words, if your church looks different from ours but you are still seeking to build His Kingdom by preaching the Gospel and holding to the Word of God, then we are good.

​

In All Things Charity

 

​What does this mean? It means we seek to live our lives and practice our faith as followers of and apprentices to Jesus with and in love. We want to love other people even if we disagree with them or they disagree with us. We want everyone to know the love of God and salvation through Jesus alone. We want to love God with all we are and love our neighbors the way God loves us. If you're curious about what that looks like, come visit us on a Sunday morning.

​

We know this doesn't look like your typical statement of faith, and we're ok with that. If you want the details about what this means to us, with Scripture references, feel free to reach out to us on our contact page and we will gladly provide you with those details.
