NCM Constitution

New Creation Ministries 

 

A fellowship that recognizes the need for repentance (constantly turning from self to God) and rest (full reliance on Jesus to produce peace and healing to the soul, spirit, and body).  Through repentance and rest, we grow closer to God, and have a desire to share His revelations with each other and our community through relationships.

 

Our purpose is to establish a Biblical Christian Church with a directive to teach biblical principles, with missionary, literature and all departments it may deem useful to propagate and practice; the full Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, a healed and whole church body, service to the community and to raise-up Christian leaders for evangelizing the world.

 

The Triune God

 

We believe that God is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, the seen and the unseen. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. He keeps His covenants with Abraham. David, and His covenant people.  He spoke through the prophets. He speaks through nature and His Word. He revealed Himself ultimately in Jesus the Messiah. 

(Genesis 1:1 & 1:26-27,  Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19,  John l:1-5, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 Peter 1:2,  John 14:10-11) 

 

​

The Person and Work of Christ

 

We believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ,  the Son of God, co-equal with the Father. Was born of a  virgin. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He was raised from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of lords. We believe that salvation is found in Jesus alone. (Matthew 1, Luke 1:26-38,   Isaiah 9:6, 1 John l:1-5 & 14, 10-30, Hebrews 4:14-15, Romans 1 & 10:9-!0, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 1 Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13) 

 

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
 

We believe the Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is present in the world to make men aware of their need for redemption through Jesus the Messiah. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of saving faith He unites us as one family through Jesus Christ. He gives wisdom and discernment, power for living, and gifts for service. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily. 

(John 16:7-13,   Corinthians 3:17,  John 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 2:12 & 3:16, Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 5:18,  Galatians 5:25)

 

The Scriptures

 

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New testaments are the inspired word of God. the final authority for faith and life, and God-breathed. (Matthew 5:18,  John 16:12-13, 2 Timothy 1:13 & 3:16, Peter 1:20-21, Psalm 12:6 & Psalm 119, Proverbs 30:5) 

 

​

The Church

 

We believe the Church should be a blessing to our community and the world. The Church (which is the body, the family, and the bride of Christ) is a faith community formed by all followers of Christ in this present day. We believe that the establishment and continuance of local churches is clearly taught and defined in the New Testament scriptures. We believe in the autonomy of the local churches, that they are to be free of any external authority and control. We recognize believers' baptism and the Lord's Supper as scriptural means of testimony for the church. We believe tithing is an outward statement of the heart of putting God first and recognizing He is the owner of everything. 

(Matthew 28:19-20,  Acts 1:8 & 2:41-42 & 20:28,  James 1:27, Ephesians 1:22-23 & 5:25-27,  1 Corinthians 12:12-20 & 13, 2 Corinthians 11:2,  Titus 1 :5-11, 1 Timothy 3:1-3, 

1 Peter 5:1-4, Deut 14:22-23, Psalm 24:1)

 

​

Humanity

 

We believe that people are made in the image of God. and thus have intrinsic value. Humanity has a radical propensity to sin, and is utterly unable to remedy his condition toward God. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience towards God called "sin." These attitudes and subsequent actions separate us from God until the relationship is restored through confession, repentance, belief and faith in Jesus Christ.  A repentant heart is proven by the fruit of a life lived under the obedience to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

(Genesis 1 :27,  Psalm 8:3-8, Isaiah 53:6 & 59:1-2,  Romans 3:23, Luke 3:8, Col 1:10)

 

​

The Individual

We believe the life of an individual begins in the womb.  We believe the single person is whole and complete in Christ Jesus. Singleness is a gift from God.  A single person can more effectively devote their life to God than a married person. We believe that marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman.  We believe marriage is a vehicle for sanctification . We believe the covenant of marriage is the only place for sexual intimacy. The family of God are those individuals who profess Jesus as Lord and Savior.  We become brothers and sisters in Christ and joint heirs with Jesus. We believe that men and women are called to be fathers to the fatherless, and mothers to the motherless, caring for the orphan. We believe the purpose of the family is to glorify and honor God by forming the spiritual, emotional, physical, and economic foundation for individuals. the church. and society. 

(Deuteronomy 6:4-9,  Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4,  Genesis 2:18-25, Mark 10:6-9, Romans 8:16-17, 1 Corinthians 7.8-9 1 Tim. 5:1)
