Church in Mission

We as New West Church feel called to be a church in mission.

Our Mission:

As people called by God, we gather to praise God, listen to him, and respond. We nurture each other in faith and obedience to Christ. We love and care for one another as God’s people. We commit ourselves to serve and to tell others about Jesus. We pursue God’s justice and peace in every area of life.

Our Vision:

The Christian Reformed Church is a diverse family of healthy congregations, assemblies, and ministries expressing the good news of God’s kingdom that transforms lives and communities worldwide.

Beliefs

Biblical Standard
The beliefs and doctrine of the Christian Reformed Church are based on the Holy Bible, God's infallible written Word contained in the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that it is the supreme and final authority in all matters on which it speaks.

Doctrinal Standards
The Christian Reformed Church subscribes to the following confessions:

The Belgic Confession
The Canons of Dort
The Heidelberg Catechism
Ecumenical Creeds*
The Christian Reformed Church subscribes to the following three creeds:

The Apostles' Creed
The Athanasian Creed
The Nicene Creed
Positions
Over time, the Christian Reformed Church has clearly stated its position on a variety of contemporary topics.

* Article 9 of the Belgic Confession names three writings, dating from the first centuries of the Christian church, that we willingly accept as creeds: the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. The adoption of the Belgic Confession by the synods of the Reformed churches in the Netherlands during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries implicitly approved the three creeds mentioned above. They are call ecumenical (general, universal) because they have been approved and accepted by nearly all Christian churches.
