About New & Living Way Ministries

Who Are We?

Who are we?

We are a faith community extraordinarily graced with the manifest presence of God. When we gather His glory shows up..and we are amazed. We sing. We dance. We laugh. We laugh. We cry. We celebrate. We even lay down on the floor sometimes. We love to worship.

We are hungry for truth. Not convenient or politically correct truth, but life changing “big T” truth. We want to know what God thinks, what Jesus said and what the Holy Spirit is doing. We believe that God has the best ideas about life and we want to know better so that we can live better. We love the Word of God.

We are unapologetically a family. We laugh together, cry together and labor together. We support and comfort one another. We challenge one another. We love each other and are committed to growing together.

What do we do?

Our mission is “reconciling hearts…fulfilling destiny.” We believe that God is, in Christ Jesus, reconciling the world to Himself and that the church is not to be passive bystanders but active participants in that reconciliation. God wants to reconcile people to Himself, to each other, and even to themselves…and He wants to use us to do it!

What do we believe?

We believe that the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God, and that they tell us God’s will and plan for salvation.

We believe in one God, Created and Sustainer of all, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God created male and female, in His image and free from sin and that man’s choice to rebel against God has resulted in a sin nature. All sin and fall short of the glory of God. As such, we will all encounter physical death and we all deserve spiritual death- eternal separation from God.

We believe that in Christ Jesus, we are rescued from the spiritual death that we rightly deserve and placed in the family of God. This “salvation” is not because of our own good works, but it is a grace gift received by faith Christ Jesus.

We believe that the church is the spiritual “Body of Christ”, of which Christ is the head. It is composed of all of those who have placed their trust in Christ Jesus and have been regenerated by the Spirit of God and is an indispensable organism through which believers become more mature in the faith and are equipped for the work of service in the world.

We believe that there will be a bodily resurrection of all; that the lost will be resurrected to eternal judgment and the saved will be resurrected to eternal reward. We will glory God and enjoy Him forever.
