New City Church stands in the ancient heritage of historic/classical Christian theology. We earnestly strive to follow Christ and His apostles. We believe that an excellent human expression of Scriptural doctrines is found in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms. Those beliefs are summarized below:

• We believe that the Bible is the written Word of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and without error in the original manuscripts. The Bible is our infallible and divine authority in all matters of faith and life.

• We believe that salvation is by God’s drawing people to Jesus by His Holy Spirit. He convinces them of their sin and enlightens them so that they repent of their sins and trust in Jesus Christ as He is offered in the Gospel.

• We believe in the Trinity. There is one God who exists eternally in three Persons–the Father, acting alone, who saves His people by the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are one in power and glory.

• We believe in the full divinity and the full humanity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. He is the fullest and final revelation of God to mankind.

• We believe that Jesus Christ, as the eternal Son of God, became man, lived, died and rose again to atone for the sins of those who trust Him alone for their salvation. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and mankind.

• We believe that God’s Holy Spirit gives Christians the daily power and wisdom they need to walk according to His will, to grow in holiness, and experience His presence.

• We believe that all people are sinners and are unable to save themselves or even cooperate with God in efforts to earn their salvation.

• We believe that Jesus Christ shall return personally, visibly and bodily to judge all mankind and to receive His people unto Himself.

• We believe that God saves people for his glory and their good – calling us to a life of joyful following Christ and demonstrating his love to others.
