We are a Christ-centered community in Ottawa, Ontario, committed to transforming lives through the power of the Gospel. At New Covenant Church, our mission is to worship God, nurture spiritual growth, serve others, share hope, build meaningful relationships, and advance the Kingdom of God.
1. God: There is one God, who is infinitely perfect, existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Isaiah 44:6; 45:5-6 | Matthew 5:48; Deut. 32:4 | Matthew 3:16-17; 28:19)
2. Jesus: Jesus Christ is true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died upon the cross, the Just for the unjust, as a substitutionary sacrifice, and all who believe in Him are justified on the ground of His shed blood. He arose from the dead according to the Scriptures. He is now at the right hand of the Majesty on high as our great High Priest. He will come again to establish His kingdom of righteousness and peace. (Philippians 2:6-11; Hebrews 2:14-18; Colossians 2:9 | Matthew 1:18; Luke 1:35 | 1 Corinthians 15:3-5; 1 John 2:2; Acts 13:39 | Hebrews 4:14-15; 9:24-28 | Matthew 25:31-34; Acts 1:11)
3. Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a divine Person, sent to indwell, guide, teach, and empower the believer, and to convince the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 14:16-17 | John 16:7-11; 1 Corinthians 2:10-12)
4. Bible: The Old and New Testaments, inerrant as originally given, were verbally inspired by God and are a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of people. They constitute the divine and only rule of Christian faith and practice. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21)
5. Sin: Humankind, originally created in the image and likeness of God, fell through disobedience, incurring both physical and spiritual death. All people are born with a sinful nature, are separated from the life of God, and can be saved only through the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The destiny of the impenitent and unbelieving is existence forever in conscious torment, but that of the believer is everlasting joy and bliss. (Genesis 1:27 | Romans 8:8; 1 John 2:2 | Matthew 25:41-46; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10)
6. Freedom from Sin: Salvation has been provided only through Jesus Christ. Those who repent and believe in Him are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit and are thereby regenerated (born again), justified, sanctified, and granted the gift of eternal life as adopted children of God. (Titus 3:5-7; Acts 2:38; John 1:12; 1 Corinthians 6:11)
7. Christian Living: It is the will of God that in union with Christ each believer should be sanctified thoroughly, being separated from sin and the world, and fully dedicated to God, receiving power for holy living and sacrificial service. This is accomplished through being filled with the Holy Spirit, a distinct event and progressive experience in the believer's life. (1 Thessalonians 5:23 | Acts 1:8 | Romans 12:1-2; Galatians 5:16-25)
8. Healing: Provision is made in the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ for the healing of the mortal body. Prayer for the sick and anointing with oil as taught in the Scriptures are privileges for the Church in this present age. (Matthew 8:16-17; James 5:13-16)
9. Church: The universal Church, of which Christ is the Head, consists of all those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and commissioned by Christ to go into all the world as witnesses, preaching the Gospel to all nations. The local church, the visible expression of the universal Church, is a body of believers joined together to worship God, observe Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, pray, and testify to salvation locally and globally. (Ephesians 3:6-12; 1:22-23 | Acts 2:41-47; Hebrews 10:25; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8, 11:19-30; 15)
10. Life after Death: There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust: for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment. (1 Corinthians 15:20-23; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10)
11. Second Coming of Christ: The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is imminent and will be personal and visible. This vital truth is an incentive for holy living and sacrificial service toward the completion of Christ's commission. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Titus 2:11-14; Matthew 24:14; 28:18-20)
