Who We Are & What We Believe

Our Mission

The mission of New Covenant United Church of Christ is to worship God; to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ; to celebrate the sacraments; to render Loving Service to the community; and to strive for Righteousness, Justice, Peace, and Equality for all Mankind.

Our Vision

To be a model of relevance and innovative evangelism that brings the good news of salvation by teaching the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. To move with intentionality and expedience toward bringing this gospel message to those that are lost, left behind, downtrodden and cast aside.

Our Purpose

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those whom were being saved.” Acts 2:42-47 (NIV)

 

Evangelism: Reaching those who are without Christ. All members should take responsibility for reaching out to our guests who have worshiped with us.

Worship: Using our spiritual gifts to bless the church service. We worship through prayer, establishing a daily habit of reading the Bible, obeying God’s word, sharing our faith, building relationships with other Christians and serving others.

Fellowship: Providing a warm and friendly atmosphere of openness and acceptance toward members who are new to the congregation.

Discipleship: Development of passionate, mature and obedient believers to love, win and train others. Trust and obey God’s word and teach others to win and train others to do the same.

Ministry: Using our spiritual gifts to bless the church. Each member should be involved in ministry using their spiritual gifts, heart’s desires, abilities, personality and experiences.

We recognize that the church cannot exist without Stewardship: “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the LORD Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it” Malachi 3:10
