Vision & Values
New Community is...becoming a place that passionately loves God
and consistently loves others.
New Community will be a place that leads people to passionately love God. Matthew 22:37-39 says that we are to love God with every bit of who we are. Our desire is to create a community that will not only challenge people to enter into a relationship with God through Jesus, but also give them the tools necessary through discipleship that will allow them to passionately love God every day.
New Community believes that if we can move people along in their faith journey to passionately love God, then consistently loving others will be the result. Our vision is that everyone who comes to New Community will be accepted, loved, and encouraged to connect with what God is doing at New Community. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 13, we can be all kinds of great things, but if we don’t have love, we are only noise (paraphrase). If there is one thing that will define New Community, it will be LOVE.

Our overall vision for New Community is pretty simple! We have always felt that keeping it simple was best when trying to paint a picture of what could be and should be. Our message is simple, strategic, and biblical…love God, love people.
