New Life Christian Fellowship is an interdenominational church in
association with the
International Church
of the Foursquare Gospel. We are Evangelical in as we are centered on the truth of the Scripture. We are Pentecostal as we welcome the work of the Holy Spirit. We are "Foursquare" as we focus on the ministry of the Lord Jesus:
Savior, Healer, Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, and Coming King.
Ministering Wholeness:
Jesus Christ, the Savior "But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities;
the chastisement for our peace was upon Him . . ."
| Isaiah 53:5
(also Titus 2:14,
Isaiah 55:7, Hebrews 7:25, Isaiah 1:18)
Jesus Christ is the only hope for humanity. The salvation He brings begins with
making a decision to become His follower. It is a decision which opens up a
lifetime of being healed, restored, delivered from oppression, and set free to
stand in spiritual, emotional, and physical wholeness (Luke 4:18).
Ministering Power:
Jesus Christ, the Baptizer with the Holy Spirit "For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the
Holy Spirit . . . you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
| Acts 1:5,8
(also John
14:16-17, Acts 2:4, Acts 8:17, Acts 10:44-46, 1 Corinthians 3:16)
Jesus charged His disciples to carry on the good works He modeled for
them. He told them He would give them the power to spread the good news
about Him. And He instructed them to wait until they received the power
from the Spirit because they received that power from the Spirit because
they would become witnesses in His authority and power. (Acts 1:8)
Ministering Healing:
Jesus Christ, the Healer "He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses. . ."
| Matthew
8:17
(also Mark 16:17-18, Matthew 9:5-6, Acts 4:29-30)
Jesus told His disciples to continue to do what they had seen Him do -
heal the sick, raise the dead, bring deliverance to those who are bound.
He promised that signs and wonders would follow them as they went to out
minister (Mark 16:17,18).
Ministering Hope:
Jesus Christ, the Soon-Coming King "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout . . . the
dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord."
| 1 Thessalonians
4:16-17
(also Titus 2:12-13, Matthew 24:36-44, Hebrews 9:28, Luke 19:13, Luke
12:35-37.)
As Jesus went into heaven He left the promise that He would return to
take His Church to live with Him forever. This is the great hope of
those who believe in Jesus as Savior (John 14:1-3).
The overarching spirit of the Foursquare Church around the world is that
of a family, rich in relationships. The attitude of humility, reverence
and submission to the Father's will that rises to compassionate concern
for others is Jesus' answer for the needs of our world. We seek to
present Jesus to this generation in a manner that it can understand,
with a message that answers its needs, and with a hope that speaks to
its destiny. Today, there are over 3.5 million members and adherents in
the Foursquare Church, worshipping in nearly 30,000 churches and meeting
places in over 140 countries.
