Our values

New Life Church Crouch Valley (NLCCV) is built on the following absolutes:

Every human is fallen and needs a Saviour.
Jesus Christ is that Saviour.
Salvation is found in no-one else.
The Bible is God’s written word and provides direction, hope and challenge in today’s world.
Every human has been created by God with a destiny and purpose.

Around these absolutes NLCCV is built and community life is expressed in the following values:

Everything we do is with God in mind – no sacred secular divide.
Being a Christian is a 24/7 experience.
We see everyone as important, valued by God and created with a destiny to fulfil.
We are disciples (followers) of Jesus not just converts to Christianity.
We seek to pursue, value and portray Christ-like character over charisma.
Christian living is a journey towards a God planned destiny not a destination.
Every person is fearfully and wonderfully made.
Every member of NLCCV has a positive contribution to make in society and within the NLCCV family.
We encourage all relationships within NLCCV to be loving, honest, open and accountable.
Laughter and joy are important facets of NLCCV community life and help NLCCV members in working through difficult and challenging situations.
Unity does not mean that we agree about everything but that we will seek to not gossip, snipe or put down another member of NLCCV.
We encourage every member of NLCCV to willingly submit to each other and to the vision and values of NLCCV.
We encourage every member to be willing to get their ‘hands dirty’ in serving other people.
All people groups are welcome to join the NLCCV family.
Gifting is decided by anointing and is not gender specific. Gifting is also recognised by others within the NLCCV family.

Our goal is to see every member of NLCCV family:
