Values

The heart of New Creation Family Church is reflected in the following twelve values. They are the foundation for what we do and how we do it.

1. PASSION FOR JESUS, WORSHIP & PRAYER. 

We believe that every believer is called to a total commitment to the Lordship of Christ and to live a crucified life by the enabling of the Holy Spirit, dedicating time, energy, material resources, gifts and talents for the Master’s use. We believe that true worship is a lifestyle of obedience to God rather than only a special activity. Thanksgiving, praise, adoration, and intimate worship using songs, instruments, dance and drama are also all expressions of worshipping the Lord. We believe that prayer is one of God’s main ways of preparing His Church to become the Bride. This includes individual, family and corporate prayer.
Gal 2:20, 1 Kings 11:4, Phil 2:1-11, 2 Cor 8:7
John 4:20-24, Phil 3:3Jer 33:3, James 5:16.

2. RELATIONSHIPS. 

We believe that genuine relationships should permeate every part of church life. We are committed to community, the “one anothers” and to team ministry.
John 13:34-35, Eph 4:16, Neh 3

3. GREAT COMMISSION MINDSET. 

We believe that lost people are important to God and therefore ought to be important to the church. We are called to make disciples and not just converts.
Luke 5:30-32, Matt 18:14.

4. POWER OF GOD’S WORD. 

We believe in the power and absolute truth of God’s Word. We believe that anointed teaching of, and personal study and meditation in, God’s Word renews the mind and transforms lives. This includes equipping and training for the work of ministry. 
2 Tim 3:16-17, Rom 12:1,2, 1 Peter 1:22-23, Heb.4:12.

5. HEALING ENVIRONMENT. 

We believe that the church is called to heal the broken-hearted and set the captives free in the power of the Holy Spirit. This includes healing of spirit, soul and body through the Word of God, anointed counselling, prayer and supportive relationships.
Matt 5:35-42, Luke 4:18, Acts 4:29-30.

6. EVERY BELIEVER IN MINISTRY. 

We believe that every follower of Jesus is called to the work of the ministry. This includes raising up and multiplying leaders who will in turn raise up others to do the same.
2 Tim 2:2, Eph 4:12.

7. SMALL GROUPS THAT MULTIPLY. 

We believe that transformation happens best in small groups, where friendship, discipleship, outreach, serving others, internship and accountability mature the believer.
Acts 2:44-47, Acts 4:32

8. BUILDING STRONG FAMILIES. 

We believe that the church is called to bring healing to the wounded family. This includes strengthening marriages, encouraging parents, divorce-recovery, ministering to singles, parents, children and youth.
Gen 12:3, Eph 5:21-33.

9. HOLINESS & CHARACTER. 

We believe that we are called to live a life of character, which includes honesty, integrity, humility, meekness, self-discipline, teachability, perseverance, and a servant heart.
Rom 12, 1 Cor 13, Phil 2, Col 3:12.

10. SERVING WITH COMPASSION. 

We believe we are to serve others with meekness and compassion, not being concerned only with our own interests, but expressing Christ’s tender-hearted compassion and attitude of servanthood in all that we do.
Phil 2, Matt 20:26, John 13.

11. EXCELLENCE. 

We believe that Biblical excellence (doing the very best with what God has given) honours God and inspires people. This involves working with a strategic focus and then evaluating and reviewing our actions.
Dan 5:12, Phil 1:10.

12. KINGDOM THINKING. 

We believe that we are called to unite and flow with the whole Body of Christ to reach our communities. We believe in honouring one another, dwelling in unity and mutual sharing of resources, gifts and abilities.
Ps 133.
