New Life’s symbol, shoots growing up at the foot of the cross, is reminiscent of the many times Christ described faith as resembling a growing plant. As Christians we wish to grow in our faith and produce fruit in accordance with that faith. The mission statement reflects that stand as well as the symbol.
To Plant
…the seed of God’s truth, His pure Word, in hearts and minds for eternal salvation.
To Grow
…in faith and love as individuals and as a congregation using the whole word of God and the sacraments; praising God with our worship and our Christian lives.
To Bring New Life
…to others by bringing the message of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, sharing with them the joy we know from having New Life.
