Our Values

We are committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to love God, love others, and share the good news of Jesus Christ. 


We Love And Long For God

God is the source of our existence, our hope, and our joy. He is the center of all we have and all we are.


We Stand Firm In The Truth

We believe that God is the ultimate judge of right and wrong. We believe in the Holy Word of God given to us through His interwoven history over many generations.


We Believe It’s Not About Us

We will live in a way that is not selfishly driven. We respect that we are all part of a much larger plan and that we were created for His pleasure; not the other way around.


We Will Be A People Who Love

It is our hope that people will know God’s love for them through our love for them.


All People Are Equal In The Sight Of God

God loves all people unconditionally. Whether white or black, rich or poor, countryfolk or city-slickers...God cares for His people.


We Will Be People Who Forgive

We whole-heartedly welcome fallen members of our families, church, and community. Without forgiveness there can be no love and we are nothing without love.


We Will Not Judge

We will not think that our ways of worship are the only ways of worship. Knowing that God created us all differently we respect other people’s ways of worship.


We Will Choose Honor

As a church and as individuals within the church we will strive to always honor the people/churches around us.


We Will Be Kingdom Minded

At New Direction we humbly acknowledge that God's Kingdom is much bigger than us. God is doing many incredible works in places all around the globe.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • The Bible

    We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. It was authored by God and transcribed by men over the period of thousands of years and many generations. We believe that God’s truths to us are revealed in the Bible. It is flawless and is the basis for upholding our beliefs even today.

  • The Trinity

    We believe that God exists in three persons. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They have different functions but each possess equal power and deity.

  • The Father

    We believe that God is all powerful, all-knowing, eternal, holy, righteous, and without sin. He is the ultimate creator for all that exists. He is perfect and so is His love for mankind. He loved us so much that He sent His son Jesus to die for us and take the punishment for our sins, thus restoring our relationship with Him.

  • The Son

    We believe that Jesus Christ was completely human and completely God. He came to earth born of a virgin and led a sinless life. He died on the cross to be a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Through His death justice was served for the sins that we committed. Three days after His death He rose from the grave to return to Heaven. His payment for our sins made it possible that we be forgiven and redeemed by God.

  • The Holy Spirit

    We believe that the Holy Spirit equips, empowers, and guides believers in truth and convicts people of their sins. It is a gift offered to all believers to be received after salvation. The Holy Spirit comforts us, encourages us, gives us spiritual gifts, and develops the character of Jesus within us.

  • Eternity

    We believe that all people will spend eternity in either Heaven or hell. Those who have asked for God’s forgiveness of their sins through the sacrifice of Jesus, will spend their eternity with God in Heaven. Those who have rejected Jesus will spend their eternity in hell.

  • Salvation

    We believe that God is perfect. In being perfect He requires justice for our sins. This payment would have required every person to spend their eternity in hell. Our salvation comes through the belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and the acceptance of His sacrifice for our own sins. God sent Jesus, His son, to take our punishment for us by suffering and dying on the cross. When we acknowledge Jesus as Lord and ask him to forgive us through his death, we are saved from the cost of our sins. The debt has already been paid and we are now free to live with God forever.


  • Water Baptism

    We believe that baptism is an outward sign of an inward change. It is not required for salvation, but is an act of obedience in publicly and unashamedly declaring our faith in Jesus.
