What We Believe
Understanding what a church believes is super important, right? At the New Life Indonesian Community Church, we hold to the core tenets of Christian faith. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again on the third day, conquering death. His sacrifice offers salvation and eternal life to all who believe in Him. We believe in the Holy Spirit, who indwells believers, guides us into truth, empowers us for service, and sanctifies us. The Bible is our ultimate authority, the inspired Word of God, providing guidance for our lives and revealing God’s plan for humanity. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, and that eternal destiny is determined by our response to Jesus Christ. We also believe in the church as the body of Christ on earth, and that every believer is an integral part of it. We are committed to living out these beliefs through love, service, and passionate worship, creating a community that reflects God’s goodness and grace to the world. Our theological understanding is rooted in historic Christian orthodoxy, adapted and expressed in a way that resonates with the Indonesian cultural context, ensuring that our faith is both biblical and relevant to our lives.
Our Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, the New Life Indonesian Community Church has a vision that is both inspiring and actionable. We envision a flourishing community that not only serves its members but also actively reaches out to the wider Indonesian population and beyond. We want to be a beacon of hope, a place where lives are transformed by the power of the Gospel. This means expanding our ministries to meet the diverse needs of our community, from youth programs that nurture the next generation to senior outreach that honors our elders. We aim to build stronger connections through various small groups and events, fostering deeper relationships and mutual encouragement. Furthermore, we aspire to be a church that is actively involved in serving our local community, demonstrating God's love through practical acts of kindness and compassion. We believe that by living out our faith authentically, we can make a significant impact. Our vision is also about spiritual growth – helping each member mature in their faith, discover their God-given purpose, and live lives that are pleasing to Him. We are excited about the future and believe that with God’s guidance and the collective efforts of our dedicated members, we can achieve great things together, making a lasting difference for His glory. The New Life Indonesian Community Church is not just about maintaining the status quo; it’s about dynamic growth and ever-increasing impact for the Kingdom of God.
