New Life Chapel exists to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way as to turn non-Christians into converts, converts into disciples, and disciples into mature, fruitful leaders who will in turn go in the world and reach others for Christ.
The four purposes of New Life Chapel:
EVANGELISM
“Communicating the Gospel in contemporary ways that reach the heart”
EDIFICATION
“Creating a community of Biblically functioning believers in healthy relationships with one another”
EQUIPPING
“Discovering the joy of being a fully contributing member”
EXTENSION
“Responding to God’s commission to partner with Him in reaching others”
God’s assignment for New Life Chapel
New Life Chapel exists for the equipping of God’s people unto fruitfulness, offering the five-fold ministry of:
A GOD INSPIRED LOVE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL (John 13:34-36)
This love lookss beyond a person’s faults or past and embraces each individual for who they are and for what they mean to God. This is a love of choice that expresses the heart and compassion of Jesus Christ.
A CLEAR AND SIMPLE PRESENTATION OF JESUS CHRIST (2 Cor. 11:3)
Each gathering is designed to exalt and draw attention to the person of Jesus Christ in a clear, practical and easy to understand fashion through Biblical teaching, worship, fellowship and ministry times.
THE DEVELOPMENT AND RELEASE OF INDIVIDUAL GIFTING (Eph. 4:7-10)
One measurement that determines the health of any local church is found in the plurality of its leaders functioning in concert with the God given assignment of the church. As individuals are equipped, we will see the church as a living dynamic rather than just a “time on Sundays”.
AN ATMOSPHERE OF HEALING AND RESTORATION (Matt. 11:28-30)
By our choice to love, an atmosphere of liberty will become characteristic. Not one of flippant disorder, but one of love, acceptance and forgiveness without ever compromising God’s Word. In this environment, people will be able to receive God’s rest and healing.
EVANGELISM (Acts 2:27-38)
We will always make opportunity for people to receive God’s gift of salvation with foundational instruction in follow-up. If we maintain a heart for those who do not know Jesus Christ personally, we will never lose sight of our place in the world, our purpose for ministry, and our assignment as a local church, New Life Chapel.
The New Life Chapel Strategy
NOT COMPLICATED: New Life Chapel’s structure is streamlined to maximize ministry in simple ways. We emphasize relationships, not “organized religion.”
ENCOURAGING PREACHING: Our pastors emphasize practical and positive solutions from God’s Word that relates to life’s everyday problems.
WORSHIP THAT’S CONTEMPORARY: We offer a style of music and worship that today’s people can relate to with words that are understandable. Our worship focuses on God’s worthiness, not ours.
HOPE: We extend God’s hope to people in every situation, for God’s solutions through Jesus Christ will always bring us new beginnings that offer us a future and a hope!
OPENNESS: We extend a heart of friendliness, openness and a God inspired love for every person. We are committed to you right where you are today. New Life Chapel is a place to grow.
PURPOSE: New Life Chapel’s purpose is responsive to the needs, hurts and interests of the people of Hesperia, CA and the surrounding communities while extending the heart of Jesus. We desire for every person to come to know Jesus, be disciples and become leaders who will then influence others for the Kindgom of God.
EQUIPPING LEADERS: Every person is valuable to the Lord. Therefore, New Life Chapel’s goal is to equip God’s people unto fruitfulness by helping them to discover their gifts and apply them for the Master’s use.
