Our Beliefs and Values
We believe the church belongs to God and that the church is,
in the
words of the Apostle Paul, the body of Christ. The church is to be the
physical presence of Christ in the world. As such, our primary aim is to do
God’s will.
Our Beliefs
At New Life , we are Christians who are excited to be part of the United
Methodist Church.
What is a United Methodist?
United Methodists are the second largest Protestant denomination in America.
We are the home to both former President Bush, as well as former President Clinton’s
family. Methodists have played a significant
role in shaping America. United Methodists hold to the historic doctrines of
the Christian faith. We are evangelical, but moderates rather than
fundamentalists. We value the intellect and modern science, while at the
same time looking to the Bible as the authoritative guide for faith and
practice. Methodists have a passionate faith with strong convictions, but we
also recognize that the world is not always black and white. We are willing
to ask questions, to wrestle with difficult issues, and to do so with grace
and compassion.
Methodists have been known for our emphasis on a personal faith, lived out
in concrete ways in the world. We have historically valued well-informed and
passionate preaching, worship that was lively, and small groups where people
could grow in faith. Methodists have open hearts, and open minds--and
welcome anyone interested in learning more about the Christian faith. If you
would like to know more about what it means to follow Christ, please call
954-763-2525 and ask to speak to our pastor or e-mail us.
Our Purpose
- Introducing
people to Jesus Christ.
- Encouraging people as we struggle through life together.
- Forming the Christian character in the believers.
- Bringing up another generation in the word and admonition of the Lord.
Our Vision
Rebuilding a Community One Life at a Time.
