What is that noise? Many people would
say it is the sound of a church service on any typical Sunday
morning. Deadly boring... Soapy platitudes... Hypocritical
denunciations... Prudish warnings against anything real
and deeply pleasurable... Ranks of drowsy worshipers putting
in their mandatory time in "God's house" before
being released once more to life outside the dim stained
glass, behind which they comfortably deposit most of their
religion until the next weekend.
If that's Christianity, who wants it?
On the contrary, Christianity is a face-to-face reunion
with God. Go to our "Eyewitnesses"
section to read how Jesus Christ is wonderfully alive
and busy in the world today, bringing people to life. As
people believe in him and open their hearts and lives to
him, they find that he is undeniably real, powerful, and
good. Our earnest hope is that you also will become an eyewitness
of his majesty.
New Life Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a community
of people joined together by faith in Jesus Christ,
the one sent by the Father to die for our sins. In Jesus,
we have—
a new Savior and Friend; a new Father in heaven; a new
Spirit of love and boldness; a new family in other believers;
a new task while here on earth; a new hope for eternity...
...a new life!
Living as God's new creation is not a momentary, one-time
act, but a life-changing passion. We at New Life are
committed to serving Christ—being and making faithful
disciples. It is an exhilarating, life-long calling.
We invite you to share it with us.
The Reformed faith takes the
Bible with the utmost seriousness. It is but another
way of saying that "from him and through him and
to him are all things. To him be the glory forever!
Amen" (Rom. 11:36). The Reformed faith seeks to
maintain the entire teaching of the Bible, rightly understood...

Just six of the many people who
have preceded us in making an impact for the Christian
faith. Although they were fallible humans, their devotion
to knowing Christ, promoting His gospel, and teaching
it clearly is inspiring to us all in carrying out our
own callings.
