History Beliefs Mission Questions
New Life Church had its first service on December 2, 2003, with Alex and Tanya Klimchuk and two other families who were radical and on fire for God. About 20 people altogether came to the first service. On October 2, 2005, we made a decision to move forward and fulfill our God-given vision to reach out with the Message of Jesus to the whole city of Sioux Falls and beyond.
Some parts of our vision have been realized. Other parts are now coming into manifestation. But much of the vision remains to be prayed out and walked out. Each week more and more individuals are becoming part of the exciting and close-knit family at New Life Church. Our history has just started and we will let somebody else write about us in the future, but now New Life is moving forward to accomplish our assignment. The calling cannot be completed without you.
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God, a revelation from God to mankind, the perfect rule of faith and conduct, and superior to conscience and reason, but not contrary to reason (2 Timothy 3:15-16; 1 Peter 2:2).
- We believe in one true God who revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29; Isaiah 43:10-11; Matthew 28:19).
- That man was created good and upright, for God said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." But man, by voluntary disobedience, fell, and his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ the son of God (Genesis 1:26-31; 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21).
- The Grace of God, which brings salvation to all men through preaching of the Gospel; man is saved by repenting and believing in Jesus Christ and becomes an heir of God and has fellowship with Him through the Holy Spirit (Titus 2:11; Romans 10:13-15; Titus 3:5-7).
- Water baptism is the Commandment of Jesus to those who repented and their hearts have truly believed in Christ as Savior and Lord. It's a symbol of man dying to the old sinful nature and choosing to walk in new life. (Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; 10:47-48: Romans 6:4).
- The Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements, bread and the fruit of the vine, is the symbol of us sharing the divine nature of Christ and remembrance of His suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26; Luke 22:19).
- All believers are entitled to, and should earnestly seek, the promise of the Father, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all the early Christian church. With it comes the power for life and service. (Acts 1:4-5, 8; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31).
- Every born again, spirit-filled believer should maintain a consistent prayer life by praying regularly with their understanding and in their heavenly language. (1 Corinthians 14:15)
- "Without faith it is impossible to please God." (Hebrews 11:6) The Word tells us that the "just (those who have been justified by the blood of Jesus) shall live by faith." The redemptive work of Jesus not only provided salvation for the believer, but also healing and prosperity for our spiritual, soulish, and physical man. We are redeemed from the curse of the law - poverty, sickness, oppression, and any other thing that prevents us from fulfilling His plan. Our lives can be prosperous and healthy in every realm as we walk in the light of this redemption by faith in God's Word. (Romans 1:17)
- The Church is the body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit with divine appointments for the fulfillment of the great commission and for the building up of His people. (Matthew 28:19-20; Ephesians 4:11-13)
- The resurrection of those who have fallen asleep in Christ and together with those who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord to be with Him forever. Rapture (1 Thessalolians 4:16-17)
- The devil and his angels, demons, the beast and false prophet, and whosoever is not found written in the Book of Life, shall be consigned to everlasting punishment in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, that is the second death (Revelation 19:20, 20:10-15)
- According to His promise, we look for new heavens, and a new earth where dwelleth righteousness (2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1)
It is our mission to:
- Lead people to Christ for the forgiveness of their sins (Salvation)
- Teach people how to have a relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- Help people discover their gifts and talents for the Kingdom of God
- Make disciples and leaders
- Teach people absolutes of Christian Faith
We are here to encourage and equip people to become fully functioning followers of Jesus Christ.
