Our History

The church has a rich history of making a positive impact on the Hope Mills area as formally New Life Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Ed Wilson.  In 2023, Pastor Jake Moore assumed the role of Lead Pastor and laid out a new vision for the future. Our aim is for everyone to actively Learn the things of God through active worship, Live the things of God out in authentic practical ways, and Give the things of God away to the community and to the world. 

As we step into a new season, our church is fervently dedicated to assisting individuals in realizing their full potential in alignment with God’s plan for them. We officially launched New Life on February 4, 2024.

We are thrilled about the transformative work of God and eagerly anticipate the future.

Our
Beliefs

About God
One eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God) who became flesh to reveal God to humanity and to become the Savior of the world.  
Jesus is the Son of God. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only One who can reconcile us and connect our lives to God. Jesus lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to conquer death on our behalf so that we could experience eternal life.
The Bible is God’s Word. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because it was inspired by God, the Bible is truth without error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
Sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
God instituted marriage in the beginning and established it to be between a man and a woman.
Salvation is God’s gift to us, but we must accept it. In order to receive forgiveness for our sins and receive the “new birth” we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives. Jesus is coming back again, just as He promised, to rescue those who have placed their faith in Him in this life. Our eternal destination of either Heaven or Hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ to follow Him.
In order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts that empower us to do amazing things for God. He guides believers in truth and exalts Christ. He convicts people of their sins, God’s righteousness, and the coming judgment. He comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.

Membership

At New Life we have Partners. We desire every person who attends New Life to become a PARTNER. Partnership is like membership but so much more. It’s not your name on some list, it’s a relationship and commitment from the church and from you to reach this city and to advance God’s Kingdom TOGETHER.

Reasons to parter with New Life:

Biblical

Christ is committed to the Church!“

…Christ loved the church,and he gave his life for it.”Eph. 5:25

Partnership destroys consumerism.

We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything…a job…a marriage…our country. This attitude has even produced a generation of “church shoppers and hoppers”.  Partnership swims against the current of America’s “consumer religion.”

It is an unselfish decision.  Commitment always builds character.

Who can we count on?

Every team must have a roster.  Every school must have an enrollment.  Every business has a payroll.  Every army has an enlistment. Even our country takes a census and requires voter registration.  

Partnership identifies our family.

Partnership produces spiritual growth!

The New Testament places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual growth.

You cannot be accountable when you’re not committed to any specific church family.
