Who Are We?

a.We Are A United Methodist Church

We are proud to be a part of the rich spiritual and theological traditions that make up the United Methodist Church. Through our connection to this 20 million member worldwide denomination, we are supported in our ministries and in turn support mission outreach around the world.

b.We Are An Evangelical Church

While labels can confuse rather than clarify, we proclaim New Song to be an evangelical church that emphasizes the need to actively spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to an unsaved world. We believe in the Bible as God's inspired Word which contains all truth necessary for our salvation. We believe that the hope of the world lies not in technology or human progress, but in a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

c.We Are A Community Church

We are a church for the entire community. We welcome people of all faith backgrounds who want to worship God and be nurtured in their faith. As United Methodists we stand in a tradition of diversity and inclusiveness, where people are not told what to believe but are encouraged to seek their own understanding of the great truths of our faith through scripture, reason, tradition and experience.

d.We Are A Family Church

We are a church devoted to families, whether those families be young or old, single parents or blended families, working or retired. Above all, we want to help parents raise their children by providing quality Christian education, moral direction, and necessary resources to help children and youth grow in Christ.

e.We Are An Inclusive Church

We are a church that welcomes all people to be a part of our fellowship. We believe that the church should be that one place where all are treated equally and loved unconditionally. Those barriers that divide us as a society -- age, race, language, sexual preference, or class distinctions -- shall not divide us as a church.

f.We Are A Praying Church

We believe that the church's very life is dependent upon the Holy Spirit and that we can do nothing without empowerment by the Holy Spirit. It is through prayer that the Holy Spirit is activated within us for ministry. Prayer is the foundation upon which New Song will be built and which will be a top priority in every aspect of church life. It is our goal that every person and ministry will be bathed in prayer, that prayer will precede our every effort, and that prayers of praise and thanksgiving will be offered for every success. We believe in the power of prayer!
