A Congregation
Of Jesus Christ |
|
|
Macedonia New Life Church is a
predominantly African-American congregation of approximately 864
worshippers. Our church is rooted in the Lordship of Jesus
Christ and anchored to the solid rock of Faith. In worship,
fellowship, and service, God is praised and exalted. Our
ministry is "holistic" in that we minister to the spirit, mind,
and body of those in our care. Our ministry touches the lives of
thousands each week through worship services, Bible Studies,
television, and |
|
print media
ministries. Our evangelistic outreach brings
needed assistance to many persons in our
community and elsewhere. |

Our Purpose Statement |
|
"To be a light on a hill, helping
people to see, seek and serve Jesus
Christ." To achieve our "mission" we call
each disciple of our church family to
personally and intentionally commit to a "5
Step Strategy" that will enable each of us
to fulfill this mission and L.I.G.H.T. the
way to Christ.
L.I.G.H.T. (Live,
Invest, Give, Help, Take)
Each disciple of Jesus
Christ at Macedonia commits to: |
|
|
|
|
Step One
- LIVE an authentic life as a follower of
Christ so that your life becomes a witness
to those you are seeking to reach.
(Matthew
5:14-16;
28:18-20,
II Corinthians 3:1-3) |
|
|
|
Step Two -
INVEST in the life of an unbeliever through
prayer and other needed assistance building
a friendship with them that values them as
someone who matters to God and therefore to
you. (Luke
19:1-10;
I Corinthians 9:19-23) |
|
|
|
Step Three - GIVE in obedient
and faithful response to God's command to "bring the tithe
into the storehouse." This is God's way to finance the work
of the Kingdom on earth, and it is a commitment of love for
every disciple of Jesus Christ. (Malachi 3:8-10;
Leviticus 27:30;
Proverbs 3:9-10;
II Corinthians 9:6-10;
Luke 11:42) |
|
|
|
Step Four -
HELP unbelievers and the un-churched toward
faith in Christ by inviting and bringing
them to an appropriate worship service or
Bible study at Macedonia New Life Church so
that they can hear the message of God's
grace and love in a relevant way.
(Matthew
9:9-13;
John 1:40-46) |
|
|
|
Step Five - TAKE a new
believer on a journey towards full maturity in Christ by
connecting them to the appropriate ministries and being
their spiritual mentor along the way.
(Matthew 28:18-20). |

"Together let's L.I.G.H.T. the way home to the Father" |
