Our Vision
We want God’s kingdom to spread throughout Yorktown, Muncie, and the world as a community of ordinary people empowered by the Gospel for extraordinary living.
“Just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
Our Core Values
ADORATION
Because we have been brought into relationship with God through faith in Christ, we intend corporate worship at New Life to be a rich encounter with the triune God as we gather to hear His Word, partake of the sacraments, sing hymns and contemporary songs, and call out to God in prayer, all with an attitude of reverence and awe.
See: Psalms 95:1-7 | Hebrews 12:28 | John 4:23
BELONGING
Because we have been adopted into the family of the triune God through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, we want to establish deep bonds of friendship with our brothers and sisters, hold one another accountable to holy living, and encourage one another to persevere in our walk with Christ.
See: Acts 2:42-47 | Hebrews 10:19-25 | John 15:12-17
COMPASSION
Because God has shown compassion to us in the sending of his Son, Jesus Christ, we desire to show compassion to the church and to our community through deeds of service and mercy, so that the needy among us would know God’s mercy.
See: Jeremiah 29:4-7 | James 2:14-17 | Matthew 5:13-16
DISCIPLESHIP
Because the Gospel calls us to be followers of Jesus Christ, we want learn intensively about the Scriptures and its instructions for how we are to live in today’s world, within the historic Presbyterian and Reformed tradition, that we may grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior.
See: 2 Peter 3:18 | 2 Timothy 3:16 | Matthew 28:19-20
EVANGELISM
Because the Gospel is the power of God for all who believe, we are eager to share the good news with others, boldly calling them to faith in Jesus Christ, yet with gentleness and respect, in hopes that sinners would be converted to Christ through the ministries of New Life.
See: 1 Peter 3:15 | Romans 10:14 | Acts 1:8
Our Doctrine
New Life PCA is an evangelical reformed Presbyterian church
By evangelical, we mean that we are committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as humankind’s only hope for salvation.
By reformed, we mean that we emphasize the grace of God in the Gospel, the sovereignty of God, the unity of God’s redemptive story, the work of God through the sacraments, and the authority of God in Scripture.
By Presbyterian, we mean that Christ rules local congregations through a group of elders who are elected by the people and accountable to regional and national bodies. New Life’s denominational affiliation is with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
