What We Believe

The following are the core beliefs of New Song Church - FL  a mission church of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), Gulfstream Presbytery, a group of churches whose beliefs are summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms. Below is a brief synopsis of some of the more important truths of our faith:

There is one eternal, perfect God who exists in three persons:  the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  All three persons of the Trinity take part in our lives and are to be loved and worshipped.

The Bible is the Word of God and teaches us the truth about God, ourselves and our world.  The Holy Bible in the 66 books of the Old & New Testament are the only authorized writings with the authority of being Inspired by God. (2 Timothy 3:16)

Man was created sinless, but fell from that perfection when Adam chose to disobey God.  Because Adam represented all humanity, and because we disobey ourselves and choose to seek independence from God (the root of all sin), we are sinners in need of God's mercy.

Rather than leaving us to experience the just penalty of our sin, God chose, out of the depths of His love and mercy, to bring His children back into relationship with Him.  The Father accomplished this salvation by sending Jesus to live a perfect life, and then die as a substitute for us, bearing the penalty for our sin on the cross.  The Holy Spirit works in our hearts to show us our need for Christ, to give us faith to believe in Him, to enable us to do good works, and to assure us of God's love.

We are forgiven and brought back into relationship with God only through faith in what Christ did for us through His life and death.

Because our salvation is God's work and not ours, God will keep us secure in His love to the end.

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ, sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is returning one day to judge both the living and the dead and to usher in the fullness of God's kingdom on earth.
