Our Mission & Vision
The mission of the Sweet Home New Life In Christ Fellowship is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to the community of Sweet Home and beyond and to nurture believer’s in faith and discipleship. We believe that Jesus Christ is the solution God gave to rescue us from our sins and the judgment our sins deserve. Jesus Christ is proof that God loves us and wants to forgive us. Through faith in Jesus Christ our sins are forgiven and we can have peace with God. We believe that every one of us who believes and receives Jesus Christ is given the gift of the Holy Spirit to indwell us, guide us and empower us to live a daily life that is pleasing to God. We are not perfect but we are growing each and everyday to become the people God wants us to be. We live by His grace and believe our primary goal is to love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, love our neighbor as ourselves and to follow faithfully the teachings of Jesus Christ recorded in the gospels that are found in the Holy Bible.
