Mission Statement

Our mission is to: embrace and equip people to follow Jesus!

Having both faced the many obstacles in truly pursuing Christ, as well as God's amazing grace & provision; we understand how much love and equipping is required to grow into likeness of Christ.

And so we seek to receive any person, regardless of who they are, or what they’ve done; accepting , embracing, and healing them with God’s own love; interlocking them in real community.

Furthermore, we commit to focusing our resources to train and equip people to live with strategic purpose, joyful vibrancy, and potent agency for Christ.

Key Verse:  "...to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church,
                     the body of Christ."  Eph. 4:12 (New Living Translation)

Core Values

Definition: Core values are foundational ideals that pattern operant culture. Core values are not descriptions of the work we do, but they underlie our work, how we interact with each other, and which strategies we employ to fulfill our mission.

1.  Anchored in the SCRIPTURES  (2Tim. 3:16, Ps.119)

3.  Embedded in the BODY  (Rom.12:5, 1Cor.12:12-26)

4.  Missional in the  WORLD  (Matt.28:19-20, Acts 1:8)

History / Journey

New Vision started off as Vision Christian Fellowship, a United Methodist Church chartered in June of 2004 (see above). Following years of discussion and prayer, we stepped away from the UMC and became an independent church as of April of 2009.  

Following a thorough search and discernment process, New Vision has chosen to pursue adoption into the Evangelical Covenant Church, to be finalized July of 2012.
