- OUR BELIEFS -

The following statement of faith is foundational to the ministry of New Life Prison Ministries, forming the basis of who we are and our service.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is given by God, inspired, infallible and is the final authority in all areas of life.[1]

God

We believe in one God; eternal, coequal and revealed in 3 persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.[2]

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and Man, eternally existed, born of a virgin and sinless. He died, was buried, rose again, ascended and will return for his church. He is our substitute and mediator.[3]

We believe that the Holy Spirit lives in every believer, sealing us when we are saved. The Holy Spirit guides, convicts and encourages.[4]

Humanity

We believe that every person is separated from God, both by nature and sinful practices. Salvation is only possible through repentance and acceptance of God’s gift through Jesus Christ. We are saved by grace through faith alone.[5]

Heaven and Hell

We believe in the future resurrection of every believer and unbeliever. Believers will enjoy eternal life in heaven, while unbelievers will be separated from God, in hell forever.[6]
