core values

As part of the worldwide Newfrontiers family of churches, we hold the following core values common to all our churches:

1.Building Churches That Are Evangelistically Relevant.
A gospel-preaching church that is loving, righteous in its lifestyle, involved in world mission and reaching the unsaved in its community by both public and personal evangelistic activity.

2.The Final Authority Of Scripture.
A church where regular teaching and preaching of the Bible holds a primary role and where Scripture’s authority is final.

3.The Gospel Of Grace.
A church whose people are assured of the grace of God in their lives and are clear about the full New Covenant benefits of being in Christ.

4.Baptism Into Christ and The Holy Spirit.
A church whose people are baptised in water and in the Holy Spirit, and brought into a genuine life in the Spirit.

5.Free To Worship.
A Church where God’s presence is prized and where God is enthusiastically worshipped with genuine freedom for men and women to worship publicly in the Holy Spirit, to use spiritual gifts and to participate in ‘body ministry.

6.Loving, Meeting, Sharing And Caring Communities.
A church which is a loving community, meeting both publicly and house to house, sharing and caring for each other’s needs, both spiritual and material.

7.Marriage, Parenting And Being Single.
A church where Biblical family life is highly valued, where husband and wife embrace male servant leadership and joyful female submission, where godly parenting is taught and practised and where the special value of singleness and its unique opportunities are affirmed.

8.Elders – A Team With A Leader.
A church led by male elders (one of whom is clearly understood to be gifted to be lead elder) who are ordained by the Holy Spirit, recognised and confirmed through apostolic ministry. These men are to be helped in fulfilling their calling through ongoing fellowship with trans-local ministries.

9.Honouring Your Elders.
A church where elders are honoured a servant-leaders caring for the flock and providing appropriate spiritual disciplines where necessary.
