About our Church
Our Mission and Vision

The Mission of New Song Community Church is to turn the unchurched into fully devoted followers of Jesus.  The Vision of New Song Community Church is to reproduce disciples of Jesus Christ who penetrate this community and the world with His love, compassion and truth.


Wherever you are, YOU MATTER TO GOD!  That’s why you matter to us!

 
The Willow Creek Association

The Willow  Creek Association is a team of over 1000 churches that believes lost people matter to God.  As a result of this belief, each has committed to reach unchurched people in their communities and around the  world  with the Gospel.  The Association began with a heart-felt concern for those who are disconnected from Christ and His church. The strategy for this incredible undertaking of reaching the unchurched is three-fold:

  •  SEE a different and fresh approach to doing church.

  • RETHINK methods of being culturally relevant yet uncompromisingly biblical.

  • EXPERIENCE God-centered worship that moves the heart and mind to pursue full devotion to  Jesus.

We are grateful to be part of the Willow Creek Association and fully endorse its mission to reach unchurched people and develop them into fully devoted followers of Jesus.To accomplish this mission at New Song Community Church, we believe God desires us to love, accept, and nurture everyone He sends to our fellowship.

 
Our Statement of Faith

We affirm our confidence in God's inerrant Word. We treasure its truths and we respect its reproofs.

We acknowledge the Creator-God as our heavenly Father infinitely perfect, and intimately acquainted with all our ways.

We claim Jesus Christ as our Lord--very God who came in human flesh--the object of our worship and  the subject of our praise.

We recognize the Holy Spirit as the third member of  the Godhead, incessantly at work convicting, convincing, and comforting.

We confess that Adam's fall into sin left humanity without hope of heaven apart from a new birth, made possible by the Savior's death and bodily resurrection.

We believe that God's love-gift, the gift of salvation is for all those who accept it by faith, apart from works, thus becoming new creatures in Christ.

We anticipate our Lord's promised return, which could occur at any moment.

We are convinced that all who have died will be brought back from beyond--believers to everlasting communion with God and unbelievers to everlasting separation from God.

We know the Lord is continuing to enlarge his family, the universal Body of Christ, over which He rules as Head.

We are grateful to be part of a local church, which exists to proclaim God's truth, to administer the ordinances, to stimulate growth toward maturity, and to bring glory to God.
