New Community Partnership Commitment

By partnering with God’s Church, New Community, I agree and commit to the following:
That as a Christian and follower of Jesus:
I desire to live a life that honours God by modelling myself after his son Jesus through reliance upon the Spirit’s empowering, and embracing a way of life that seeks to make him known
I desire to live a life that reveals the kingdom of heaven here on earth, and in so doing be part of a growing community of vibrant Jesus followers who are visibly impacting their spheres, shaping their city and serving their world.
I desire to build for God’s kingdom in the everyday activity of my life through:
  • Prayerfully pledging allegiance to him above all other kingdoms and powers
  • Visible expression of my faith in daily life
  • Humbling myself by serving others
  • Mourning over that which is wrong in our world and seeking to put it right
  • Hungering for what is right and good and choosing to walk that path
  • Mercy giving without strings attached
  • Peacemaking rather than repaying evil with evil
  • Filling myself up with things that make for a pure mind
 
I embrace the value of Relationship and commit to reaching out to those who do not know Jesus
  • By intentionally developing friendships with those who don’t know Jesus
  • By fostering a deepening love relationship with God
I embrace the value of Belonging and commit to drawing others into my life and New Community
  • By sharing meals and making people a priority
  • By regular participation at Sunday gatherings and other community events like baptisms
  • By upholding the unity amongst our community at all times
I embrace the value of Empowering and commit to building up others
  • By practically serving at Sunday gatherings and other New Community ministries
  • By using my Spirit given gifts to encourage and grow God’s church
