We believe Jesus is the perfection of all beauty. He is the creator of all beauty. He is the fullness of all beauty. And as a result, He is worthy of all worship. Every glimpse of beauty in creation – whether in love, goodness, truth, joy, mercy, music, nature, or sacrifice – finds its origin and fulfillment in Him.

Beauty is that which awakens love, joy, wonder, and desire within, so the more clearly we see the beauty of Jesus through Scripture by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the more our hearts are stirred toward affection, admiration, delight, and worship. So in becoming passionate worshipers, we set our lives to know the beauty of God.

Worship is not merely singing songs, but it is responding with our entire lives to the surpassing worth and beauty of Christ.

We are committed to becoming like Jesus in every part of life. He is not merely Savior, but He is also our Lord, Leader, and Example we follow. Through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit, the truth of God’s Word, and life together in Christian community, we seek to be formed into the character of Christ as we increasingly know Christ.

We desire to grow in holiness, humility, compassion, and love, so that the life of Jesus becomes visible in our homes, friendships, workplaces, and town. Spiritual formation is not behavior modification, but the ongoing work of becoming a people who increasingly reflect the heart of Christ.

The humility of Christ is our standard of maturity.

We believe God ordained His church, including New Song, to fulfill His mission of saving and forming a people for Himself, and the gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news that God, in His love and mercy, sent His Son Jesus to live the life we could not live, die in our place for our sins, and rise again in victory over death, is chief in His mission.

The gospel is not merely the entry point into the Christian life. It is the foundation, fuel, and hope for everything we do.

We also believe Jesus calls every believer to live as a faithful witness to this gospel among friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and the world around us. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we seek to proclaim the good news of Jesus through both word and deed: loving the poor, practicing hospitality, pursuing reconciliation, serving our community, and inviting people into the life and kingdom of God through the gospel of Jesus.

Our desire is to be a church that not only gathers in worship, but scatters in mission, carrying the presence, truth, and love of Jesus into everyday life.
