STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

New Direction Christian Center is a God Glorifying, Christ Centered, Holy Spirit Empowered, Word Based, People Oriented, local church of baptized believers who follow our visionary as he follows Christ.

We believe that the Bible is the undisputed authority for our church's order and discipline. It sets the guidelines and government for our church through its principles and precepts.

Therefore, we are a Church of Love based on St. John 13:13.

Whereas, we are disciplined to be committed and consistent as not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is Hebrews 10:25.

Therefore, we are responsible for lost souls. We must gather to be edified and scatter to evangelize. We witness of our Lord and Savior and establish a relationship with our brothers and sisters; we promote the fact that we are family; learning to do well (Isaiah 1:7), representing the Kingdom of God with a spirit of excellence.

Moreover, we are a tithing church because we believe Malachi 3:8-10.

We endeavor to be an obedient church obeying those who have rule over us as stated in Hebrews 13:17.

We moreover endeavor, to let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify the Father which is in Heaven, developing character in the life we talk about at church and live away from church. In following God to have complete control of our lives, we are a spirit filled church full of power, exercising the gifts of the Spirit as recorded in Acts 1:8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-7.

Further, we are a church that worships and praises, so we make a joyful noise to the Rock of our Salvation. We are a preaching (proclaiming) church that forgives men of their trespasses so that our Heavenly Father will forgive us our trespasses. We are a praying and fasting church praying always with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Furthermore, we walk by faith; not by sight in a timely manner believing that everything should be done decently and in order, according to II Corinthians 5:7. Thereby, we take authority over the spirit of distraction in keeping with Acts 16:16-18.

So it is in keeping with the "Vision of the House" that we as leaders assist the Pastor in carrying out his God-given vision in spreading the Gospel. Working, sharing and participating together with the Pastor as one body. It is in the support of the Pastor's vision that we set a good example to those within and outside the membership of New Direction Christian Center, consistently displaying spiritual strength, good morals, and personal integrity in our service to God and mankind in our endeavor to Change a Generation.
