The Gospel

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15

New Covenant Presbyterian Church would not exist but for the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Our desire, therefore, is to proclaim the gospel (or “good news”) of Jesus Christ. We proclaim this gospel to those who have never embraced it, and also to those who have embraced it but need to keep growing in understanding and application of it.

This good news is that Jesus Christ has paid the penalty for our sin through His death on the cross and fully pardons those who put their faith in Him. As Risen Lord, He calls us to turn from our sin in sincere repentance, acknowledge Him as the eternal Son of God and Savior, and surrender ourselves to His Lordship in our lives. What we find is that He exercises His Lordship not as a cruel or despotic king, but as a loving and merciful God. Through Jesus, our broken and hostile relationship with God is reconciled; our lives are transformed through His life within us; our eternal hope is secured; and we are welcomed into the family of God.

Proclaiming Jesus Christ

At all times, in all we do

New Covenant Presbyterian Church's vision is to grow as a vibrant family of faith, showing the love of God in our worship and work, and proclaiming Christ to our community and the world. Our mission at New Covenant is to enjoy God together by: Experiencing new life in Christ, Exalting God's glory, Encouraging and equipping God's people, and Extending God's kingdom.

Experiencing New Life in Christ

– Our desire is to see everyone we serve experience new life which flows from faith in Christ as we share His gospel with compassion and clarity.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Exalting God's Glory

– Our desire is to worship God as He has shown us according to Christ who redeems us and the Holy Spirit who regenerates and empowers us. We pray expectantly to our Father to transform us into Christ’s likeness and to further His kingdom.

“Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.” Psalm 95:6, 7a

“Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31

Encouraging and Equipping God's People

– Our desire is to nurture and train individuals and families to grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ, and to joyfully serve one another through the gifts He has given us as members of His body.

“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-13

“They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved." Acts 2:42, 46-47

Extending God's Kingdom

– Our desire is to send trained disciples into the world, proclaiming the transforming message of Christ. We purpose to spread the gospel in word and deed, presenting Christ as the true and only Saviour of the world.

“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

“…but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” Acts 1:8

“So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.” Galatians 6:10
