What We Believe

About the Bible . . . .

We believe the Bible is the written word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is the revelation of God's truth and is infallible and authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.

About God . . . .  

We believe in the Holy Trinity. There is one God, who exists eternally in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We believe that God is gracious and faithful to His people not simply as individuals but as families in successive generations according to His Covenant promises.

About Salvation . . . .

We believe that all are sinners and totally unable to save themselves from God's displeasure, except by His mercy.

We believe that salvation is by God alone as He sovereignly chooses those He will save. We believe His choice is based on His grace, not on any human individual merit, or foreseen faith.

About Jesus . . .

We believe that the risen Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who through His perfect life and sacrificial death atoned for the sins of all who will trust in Him, alone, for salvation.

We believe that Jesus will return, bodily and visibly, to judge all mankind and to receive His people to Himself.

We believe that all aspects of our lives are to be lived to the glory of God under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

About the Holy Spirit . . . .

We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells God's people and gives them the strength and wisdom to trust Christ and follow Him.

About Prayer. . . .

God honors prayer as the channel through which He pours out His blessing to His people and His church.

About the Church. . . .

Loving relationships should permeate the community of the church, and that life transformation happens best in small groups.

NPC's task is to mobilize our members and friends for personal involvement in ministry that is satisfying and effective. The role of the pastor and staff is to equip and enable God's people to do the ministry in the church and community.

About Worship. . . .

God desires that our worship be pleasing to Him, meaningful to the worshippers, transformational for believers, and inspirational for unbelievers.

About Missions and Outreach

Lost people matter to God, and therefore they ought also to matter to the church. Consequently, the extension of the Kingdom of God honors Him, and is accomplished through evangelism, missions and church planting.
