Our Mission and Vision

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." - the lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 28:19-20

The Mission

We are one mission with God to produce fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

"We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all His energy
that He powerfully works within me.” - Colossians 1:28-29

Like the Apostle Paul, we are dependent upon the power of God in our desire to see more people trust and know the Lord Jesus Christ, grow in their knowledge of Him, and become more and more like Him every day. That's why we preach Christ.

WE PREACH CHRIST, HE CHANGES LIVES

Colossians 1:28-29 – “Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all His energy that He powerfully works within me.”

The Vision

Our vision is to see the Word of God proclaimed unashamedly and in all its authority from the pulpit, in the observance and giving of the biblical ordinances, in our small groups, in our children's and teens ministries, and in our daily interactions with the people in our lives.

We envision seeing new converts being baptized and growing daily in their walk with Jesus Christ.
We envision sending missionaries and ambassadors for Christ into the world.
We envision love and fellowship within our congregation through our unity in Christ.
We envision a church where prayer will be our very breath as we totally depend upon our Savior.
We envision sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with our friends, family, and neighbors.

* Note - The mission is the goal or aim of the church, and the vision is how it is implemented. Mission statements are generally shorter and to the point, while vision statements are more expansive. Even our vision statement here could be expanded with more details and particulars. As you continue to explore our website you will see how the vision is applied in the different ministries of NFBC.

Our Doctrine:

  • We believe all Scripture as originally written is inspired of God and accept it as the final authority in all matters of doctrine and practice.

    2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:21

  • We believe in one Triune God, eternally existing in three persons Father, Son and Holy Spirit – co-eternal in being, co-equal in power and glory, of the same essence, and having the same attributes.

    Deuteronomy 6:4; John 14:26; Matthew 28:19; Romans 1:7; Hebrews 1:8; Acts 5:3,4

  • We believe that: Jesus Christ is the Son of God, He left heaven’s glories to be born of a virgin, He lived a sinless life, He died for our sins as a substitutionary sacrifice, He rose from the dead, He ascended to the right hand of God where He makes intercession for the believers. We believe He is true God and true man.

    Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 1:18-25; 1 Peter 2:22; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Hebrews 7:25; Luke 19:10; John 3:16-18

  • We believe the Holy Spirit is a person who convicts the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; that He regenerates sinners; that He baptizes all believers into the body of Christ, and that he seals them unto the day of redemption. We also believe He indwells, empowers, and instructs believers.

    John 16:7-14; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 1:13,14

  • We believe man was created in the image of God. Man sinned and thereby received spiritual death which is separation from God. Since Adam’s sin, man has inherited a sinful nature. He is totally depraved and utterly unable of himself to remedy his lost condition.

    Genesis 1:26,27; Genesis 3; Romans 5:12; Psalm 51:5; Ephesians 2:1-3,12

  • We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, that all who believe in Him are justified by faith and regenerated by the Holy Spirit becoming the children of God. We believe salvation is received by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ and by this act we are made members of the Body of Christ which is the true Church.

    1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Ephesians 1:7; John 1:12,13; Ephesians 2:8,9; Romans 10:9-13

  • We believe that Satan is a created being whose power is second only to God. He rebelled against God, and has become the open and declared enemy of God and man. We believe that Satan is the author of sin, that he caused the fall of the human race, and that he continues to tempt and accuse the believers before God. We believe he shall be eternally punished in the lake of fire.

    Ezekiel 28:11-16; Genesis 3; 1 Peter 5:8,9; Revelation 12:10; 20:10

  • We believe in the personal, pre-millennial, and imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men; the saved to eternal life and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.

    1 Thessalonians 1:9,10; 4:13-18; John 5:28,29

  • We believe that all born again believers constitute the universal church which is the body and espoused bride of Christ. Ephesians 1:22,23; 5:25-27; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 2 Corinthians 11:2 We believe the Scriptures teach that redeemed individuals should faithfully join together as local churches for worship, for instruction, fellowship and service.

    Acts 2:41,42; Hebrews 10:25

  • We believe the primary mission of the church is to carry out the Great Commission as outlined in Matthew 28:18-20. We believe our goal should be to train spiritual reproducers who can win and train others.

    2 Timothy 2:2

  • We believe the two ordinances of the church are baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Christ commanded his disciples to “teach (disciple) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Matthew 28:19. It follows that the believers should obey His commandment by becoming baptized. We believe that baptism is the outward testimony of the inward spiritual transformation in the life of one who has trusted Christ for salvation. Acts 2:38-41; 8:36-38. The Lord’s Supper, which as instituted by Christ, is a commemoration of His death to be observed regularly by all believers – an occasion when we meditate upon what Christ did for us on the cross. The two emblems, the bread, and the wine represent His body and His blood which was shed for the remission of sins.

    1 Corinthians 11:23-30
