New Eden Fellowship Core Values
The New Eden Fellowship seeks to practice loving
fellowship.
The heart of the Christian faith is love and fellowship. Being an "Independent
Christian" is impossible (Acts 2:42 - 47, I John 4:7-8). We will seek to
promote fellowship by:
-
Using a small group centered system of care (Exodus 18)
-
Emphasizing a faith that does not allow for prejudice and racism
-
Creating a variety of faith based activities and ministries promoting growth,
fun, and fellowship
New Eden seeks to minister to those with struggles and
hurts.
Everyone is welcome at New Eden no matter where they are in life. Those with
struggles and hurts will be given encouragement and counsel in how to find
healing. We will encourage healing through:
-
Sermons that are practical
-
Support groups
-
Recovery groups
-
Individual mentoring
New Eden seeks to encourage worship that brings us into
the presence of God.
The goal of faith is to encounter God in a meaningful and life changing way.
Worship, whether it is contemporary or traditional is basic to encountering
God.
The New Eden Fellowship seeks to bring others to know
Christ.
Having found the healing and joy that comes in Christ, we desire to introduce
others to Christ as well. We will do this by:
-
Planting a new congregation at least once every five years
-
Encouraging members to be open about their faith
-
Creating an open and inviting atmosphere where we can feel good bringing our
friends
The New Eden Fellowship seeks to be biblically centered
and literate.
Bible knowledge and understanding are basic to spiritual growth (II Timothy
3:16-17). We will seek to bring this knowledge by use of:
-
Interesting life application sermons
-
Discipleship programs for all levels of spiritual maturity.
-
An emphasis on home groups.
The New Eden Fellowship seeks God’s empowerment.
Prayer is the vital link between a believer and God. This is how we are
sustained and empowered (Acts 1:8, Colossians 4:2-3). We will grow in our
prayer lives by:
-
The organization of individual and corporate prayer
-
Establishing prayer as the focal point of home groups
-
Emphasizing prayer as the base of individual discipleship
