What we believe

01

We believe that the bible is God’s Word. It is essential, useful and applicable to our everyday lives.

02

We believe in one eternal God who is the creator of all things. He exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.

03

We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

04

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory over sin and death and empower us for life.

05

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and eternal life we must repent of our sin, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

06

We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptised in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit transforms our lives and enables us to use spiritual gifts of wisdom, faith and power to the glory of God.

07

We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, to love Him and to love people.

08

We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and prosperous lives in order to help others more effectively.

09

We believe that our eternal destination of either heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

10

We believe that we need to live ready for the promised return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our story

In the early 1950s a group of approximately 12 people, hungry for more of God, formed a small congregation. We thank God for those early days and for His faithfulness over the years which has given rise to the vibrant, international, worshipping community we know as New Life Church today.

Our desire is to be a true expression of the Kingdom of God and to give to all the opportunity to find freedom and forgiveness in the new life that Jesus, Son of God, Saviour of the world offers.
