WHO WE ARE
AT NRPC,
Loving others as Christ loves us
Our mission is to glorify God
By presenting Christ to everyone
And everyone mature in Christ.
Our Values (what really matters around here!)
Sincere love means setting aside personal pride, preferences and privileges as foundational for making all we do effective towards others and bringing glory to Christ
Worshipping God in Spirit and in truth in our daily lives for this is the worship the Father seeks.
Clear consistent Bible teaching as God's gift for the maturing of His people and for his kingdom to come on earth.
Valuing community means walking through life's journey and learning to be faithful together because with God we can achieve what would otherwise be impossible.
The personal growth of believers reflects the reality of Christ's Spirit bringing God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, for the glory of God and the good of all people
Our vision is not about reality or what is now. Our vision is about our aspiration for what could be.
We envision a community of people living out our calling to be God’s new creation, embodying our prayers for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
A vital aspect to this community will be every member’s regular participation in our small group network where we model new creation community: a safe place where we accept one another and are accepted; love and are loved, shepherd and are shepherded, encourage and are encouraged, forgive and are forgiven, serve and are served.
We envision that in this new creation community, every member, youth and adult, male and female will discover their God-given gift for service and be suitably equipped to minister to others.
We envision in this community that hurting, depressed, frustrated and confused people can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance and encouragement as God ministers to us all through his Word, Spirit and people.
