| Statement Of Faith: | We believe that God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God. Gen. 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1st Peter 1:2,11; 2nd Corinthians 13:14 We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for sinners by dying on a cross. He bodily rose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22,23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14,15; 1st Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; 1st Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13 We believe that the Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for godly living, for understanding spiritual truth, and for guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily. 2nd Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; 1st Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1 We believe that mankind was created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him, but through Adam’s disobedience, the entire human race was separated from God. As a result, man is incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through his own effort alone. Romans 2:2-5; Ephesians 2:8-9; Genesis 1:27, 9:6; Psalms 51:5, 58:3; Romans 5:12, 3:23; Ephesians 2:1 We believe that salvation was purchased through the blood of Jesus Christ, which was shed on the cross, and provides the sole basis for the forgiveness of sin. Therefore, the only means to salvation is belief in Christ’s substitutional death and resurrection. Acts 4:12, 13: |
Church & Position Profile
New Community Church
Family Ministry Team Lead
Our Mission, Vision & Strategy
Our vision at New Community is Jesus Saturation! We envision God’s people so saturated in Jesus that every person, in every place, would have a daily encounter with Jesus in words spoken and deeds done until our area is saturated with the gospel of Jesus Christ! We accomplish this vision through making and multiplying disciples with the gospel of Jesus Christ through the power of the Spirit. We believe discipleship happens best through all-of-life discipleship: life with Jesus, life on life, life in community, and life on mission.
Life with Jesus: Engaging in the growth practices of a disciple that lead to intimacy with Christ and life transformation.
Life on life: Getting close enough to be seen and known in every aspect of life
Life in Community: Living like an extended family in the everyday stuff of life. Every member of the body of Christ uses their gifts to equip and service the body of Christ (i.e. “speaking the truth in love”) so that it matures.
Life on Mission: Teaching one another the basics of making disciples while you are on the mission of making disciples.
The house church is our primary vehicle for all-of-life discipleship. House Churches are spiritual families living life together in pursuit of Jesus and His mission. Together they grow in spiritual maturity to reproduce disciples who make disciples and eventually form new local churches.
A Brief History
In October of 2011, God laid on the hearts of the elders of Apex Community Church in Dayton, Ohio to birth a new regional gathering in the city of Xenia. This gathering site would be called Apex Xenia. The vision for this new gathering was to create a “hotspot” for the gospel; to “tabernacle among them” as Jesus did.
On Oct. 17, 2019, Apex Xenia became an independent family of house churches organized as New Community Church A Family of House Churches. By the end of 2020, New Community had purchased its current facility at 990 Old Springfield Pike, Xenia. God miraculously provided and the church facility was paid for by the end of 2021.
