OUR BELIEFS

WHAT WE BELIEVE AT NEWSONG

Our Beliefs

DOCTRINE OF GOD

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He is totally loving and completely holy. God, who being one in essence, exists in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Persons of the Trinity possess the same divine nature, attributes, and perfections. They are equally worthy of honor, trust and obedience, and they carry out unique functions in God’s interaction with humanity.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory over death and empower us for life. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.

DOCTRINE OF THE BIBLE

We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and the primary authority of faith and practice for the believer in Jesus Christ. God's Word is the ultimate authority.

DOCTRINE OF HUMANITY

We believe al humanity is created in the image of God to live in vibrant fellowship with Him and one another. Through our disobedience to the will of God, humanity sinned and at that point, we began to experience the death brought on by sin. Humanity is born into sin and our sinful nature is present with us throughout our entire lives. This state of spiritual death is the reason for our need of salvation through Jesus Christ.

DOCTRINE OF SIN

We believe that sin has fractured all things, leaving the world in desperate need of salvation and restoration. Our disobedience to the will of God is sin. Humanity is born into sin and our sinful nature is present with us through our entire lives.

DOCTRINE OF SALVATION

We believe that we have broken our covenant with God through our sins. Salvation is found only in and through the life, death on the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ.

DOCTRINE OF GRACE

We place a strong emphasis on the love and grace of God. This grace is experienced by people through the work of the Holy Spirit.


  • Prevenient Grace - Grace from the moment of birth in which God meets us where we are. It literally means, “grace that goes before.” It exists prior to and without reference to anything we have done. Through prevenient grace, God is calling all persons into relationship and God gives us the freedom on whether we respond to His grace.
  • Justifying Grace - Grace from the individual’s saving experience with Jesus Christ. This grace declares that we are saved, restores us to right relationship with God, and enables us to begin the lifelong journey of God restoring His image within us. We receive grace by faith and trust in Christ, through which God forgives and pardons us for our sin. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not the result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9) This grace cancels our guilt and empowers us to resist the power of sin and to fully love God and others.
  • Sanctifying Grace - Grace throughout the rest of Christian discipleship. This grace empowers us to live Holy lives. God begins restoring His image in us as we seek to live a life pleasing to Him. Sanctifying grace is God’s grace at work in the life of a Christian to shape his or her life into the likeness of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. We continue to work out our salvation as we grow in faith. Sanctifying grace is where we figure out it is “not all about me” and begin to participate on God’s Kingdom here on Earth. This is where we grow in Christ-like love toward God and others fulfilling the Great Commandment. 

DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH

We believe the Church is the body of Christ sent into the world to shine forth the glory of God and to participate in the work of the Kingdom of God.

DOCTRINE OF RESURRECTION AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD

We believe that Jesus Christ is returning to the world in the future to judge the living and the dead.

Theological Distinctives

  • Sovereignty of God in Salvation
  • Gifts of the Holy Spirit
  • Baptism - an outward sign of an inward transformation that may include: sprinkling, pouring, or immersion.
  • Communion - Holy Communion, also known as The Lord’s Supper or Eucharist, celebrates the grace of God that is present with us as we share in the body and the blood of Christ, usually represented by bread and wine or juice. We celebrate the grace of God every week at a table open for all who desire a relationship with Jesus Christ.
