our vision
New Life Pres seeks to impact Orange County and beyond by making gospel-centered, compassionate, and missions-minded disciples of Christ.
our mission
We want our members to engage in joyful, multi-generational worship that is spiritually restful, intellectually challenging, and culturally relevant; build compassionate, vulnerable, and accepting community through biblical counseling; and invest in life-giving discipleship that is gospel-centered and missions-minded.
Our Core Values
Reformed in Theology
We value the expression and application of the reformed tradition in all aspects of the church, including education, worship, community groups, discipleship groups, missions, and counseling.
Counseling in Community
We value the instruction and application of biblical counseling principles set forth by the Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation (CCEF) in the context of preaching, teaching, formal counseling sessions, and the everyday lives of our church community. We value a culture where people are both fully known and fully accepted.
Disciples Making Disciples
We value a culture of discipleship, with members passing on their faith from generation to generation, encouraging one another in the shared pursuit of the gospel. Discipleship is also reflected in our leadership model, with ministry directors mentoring future leaders so they may be equipped to one day oversee their respective ministries.
Sent and Sending
We understand that we are sent into the world for the sake of the gospel. We value a culture of outreach to our local community through acts of mercy and evangelism. We also value the establishment and growth of new churches nationally, and we seek to support and send missionaries worldwide.
