New LIFE Fellowship – Online:
Equipping the Church
Ephesians 4:11-16

New LIFE Fellowship – Our vision is to help New Testament local churches and Born Again Christians to be equipped into being Simply Biblical. We aim at helping churches and Christians to simply follow God according to the Word of God, alone, joyfully. We want to help Christians and churches to follow, trust, love and obey Jesus Christ according to the Word of God, alone, in the least complicated way possible. We believe that New LIFE Fellowship can be a great platform or template to help to accomplish this, since, this is just what Jesus wants churches to be. In this simple way, we want to help Equip Churches and Christians for Christ’s sake, as God leads us, according to the Holy Word of God, alone.

Interview of Pastor Andy Thomas on WAY-FM here in Charleston, SC

Our aim is to stick closely to the Biblical basis of what God says a “church” is to be.  We believe that each local church family is a group of disciples of Jesus Christ who have been KNIT together from the heart to Worship and Serve God, together.  We believe the most important thing in life is following God together in building each other up in our most Holy FAITH  AND –  SPREADING our FAITH, TOGETHER.

We Highly Value Helping and Equipping Churches to embrace the following:

  • BEING a Local Church Family, according to God’s Holy Word, ALONE. We highly value the 5 Solas of the Protestant ReformationClick Here for more information…
  • BEING a Biblically Simple, Family-Integrated local church family.
  • Following and Upholding God’s Biblical Model for Local Church Family Leadership.
  • Supporting God’s Biblical model for marriage and family.
  • Supporting the centrality of the local church in God’s plan for marriage and family.
  • Meeting Publicly, for our Worship Celebrationsand gathering from House to House, in our LIFE Groups (small groups), consistently (Acts 2:42-47).
  • Singing NEW SONGs unto our LORD and GOD
    We highly value being relevant, creative, yet doctrinally sound and fully biblical with our worship songs and music. We highly value seeking God to create New Songs that relate to WHO our God is to us and what He has DONE for us, in us, and through us…  Singing New Songs keeps our Worship Fresh, Real, and Biblical.
    (see Psalm 33:3; 40:3; 96:1; 98:1; 144:9; 149:1; Isaiah 42:10; Revelation 5:9; 14:31 Corinthians 9:19-23; Jude 1:3)
  • New Covenant Grace Giving (as opposed to Old Testament “Tithing”)
  • LIFE Group involvement as a central part of our obedience to Jesus, together, as a community of faith.
  • One-to-One Discipleship:
    – within each home –> equipping parents to disciple their own children,
    – within our church family – making disciples in all that we do together,
    making disciples within our LIFE Groups,
    – and out into the world.
  • Gospel Outreach and Missions that are focussed on unchurched non-Christians.
