The ultimate purpose of God’s Church is clearly given. Yet in order to give us guidance in carrying out that purpose we have formulated our purpose statement to reflect our Core Values. Our Core Values come from the prayer of Jesus in John 17, the night He was betrayed.

PURPOSE STATEMENT

• Knowing Jesus and making Him known daily.

In order to make our purpose statement a reality New Life has recognized servant leaders who deeply love God, seek to imitate Jesus, and are dependent upon the Holy Spirit for empowerment.

ULTIMATE PURPOSE

God’s Word clearly depicts the function of His Church. While this list is not exhaustive, here are a few things that are nonnegotiable for His Church.

• Loving God first and foremost, which will enable us to love others – Matthew 22:36-40; Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-28; John 13:34-35
• Make disciples (followers of Jesus) everywhere – Matthew 28:18-20
• Equipping the saints (Christians) for service – Ephesians 4:11-16
