To exalt God by making fully devoted followers of Christ

New Testament Baptist Church exists to exalt God

by making fully devoted followers of Christ.

NTBC's Ministry Philosophy

The Aim of Our Ministry

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”- Ephesians 3:20-21

The aim of New Testament Baptist Church is to exalt God by developing fully devoted followers of Christ. We believe that the Scriptures are clear that our ultimate purpose as believers and as a church is to honor and glorify God (Isaiah 43:7; Rev 4:11; Ephesians 1:6-14; 3:21; 1 Corinthians 10:31; 15:27-28; Romans 11:36).

We also believe that the primary means by which the church glorifies God is by developing and producing devoted followers of Jesus Christ.



The Actions of Our Ministry
“And they were continually devoting themselves to the apostle’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.” Acts 2:42

Beginning in the book of Acts, we see the church fulfilling its mission by actively and intentionally engaging in three fundamental activities: discipleship, worship, and fellowship.



Discipleship

The activity of discipleship encompasses two crucial, biblical aspects centered on the “apostles’ teaching”: evangelism and edification.

Evangelism

Evangelism is the practice of proclaiming the good news of the gospel to those lost in sin and calling them to repentance and faith in Christ as their only hope of salvation and reconciliation to God (Acts 2:37-41,47; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19). Christ is proclaimed in corporate assemblies of the church. But He is also proclaimed personally as members of the body build redemptive relationships with people in their communities seeking to have opportunity to share the gospel.

Edification
This is the practice of teaching God’s word to the redeemed in order to bring them to maturity in Christ as His followers and as members of His church (Acts 2:42; Ephesians 4:11-16; Colossians 1:28). The word of God is to be faithfully proclaimed and taught in the church so that believers can grow in the Lord and be strengthened to live for and serve Him (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 4:2; 2 Peter 3:18).

Worship

The priority practice of the church and of every believer is worship. The church assembles regularly and corporately to worship God. Through prayer, singing, the observation of the ordinances (Lord’s Supper, Baptism) and the proclamation of the truths of Scripture that reveal the greatness and glory of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, God is praised and adored and His greatness and goodness are extolled. (Acts 2:43, 47). The church also worships God actively as its members live faithfully in obedience to God’s word and glorify Him in all they do (John 4:23-24; Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 12:28-29).

Fellowship

The church is to actively practice biblical fellowship. While this may include social meetings and interaction, true fellowship encompasses the development of loving relationships among the members in the context of mutual care and accountability (Acts 2:42, 44-45). The church is to be the place where members intentionally, purposefully, and practically demonstrate the love of Christ toward one another to the glory of God. Such loving fellowship binds the church body together in a true spirit of unity and care (Ephesians 4:1-6).

The Attributes of Our Ministry
“Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.”

- Colossians 1:28

If the aim of NTBC is to develop fully devoted followers of Christ and our actions that flow from sound biblical principles accomplish our aim, we believe there are certain attributes

that each follower will possess. The first attribute upon which all others are founded is the follower will be genuinely converted (1 John). The evidence of conversion will be displayed by various commitments to Christ and through membership in His church, which include a:

The aim of NTBC is to exalt God by developing devoted followers of Jesus Christ. To do so, we must persistently and with devotion be engaged as a church in the actions of discipleship (evangelism & edification), worship, and fellowship. None of these essential actions can be neglected. All are significant. Evangelism reaches out to the lost. Edification and fellowship turn our attention to the believer. Worship keeps all that we do as a church pointed to the One and Only True and Living God for His glory and the glory of His Son, Jesus Christ.


Commitment To Worship
(Romans 12:1-2; 15:9; Ephesians 1:6, 12, 14; Colossians 3:16-17)
As followers of Christ each aspect of our lives is to be presented to Christ as a spiritual act of worship. Also, the community of followers is called to gather to worship God corporately.

Commitment to grow in personal holiness (John 15:5-8; Philippians 3:12-15; 1 Peter 1:14-16; 2 Peter 1:3-11) – although perfection in holiness is not possible in this fallen state, the follower’s objective is to press forward in their sanctification becoming more and more like Christ.

Commitment To The Church & Its Health

The New Testament in no way envisions the life of a follower apart from the local church; therefore, it goes to great length to define the responsibilities the follower has to the church. These responsibilities include a responsibility: to faithfully gather (Hebrews 10:25

); to love (John 13:34-35); to edify (Romans 14:19; Ephesians 4:11-16); to discipline (Proverbs 27:5-6; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 12:5-10); to disciple (Romans 15:14-16); to the church’s leadership (1 Thessalonians 5:12; Hebrews 13:17).

Commitment To Service

(1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Ephesians 4:16)
Each follower is endowed by the Spirit with spiritual gifts intended to be used in service to the church.

Commitment To Missions

(Matthew 28:19-20; 3 John 1:1-15)
The Great Commission places a responsibility on each follower to make disciples of all nations and take the gospel to the ends of the earth. This takes place when members of a church participate in both the going and the sending of those who proclaim the gospel.
