About Us

WHO WE ARE

We Want to Make Disciples 

Go therefore and make disciples  . . . (Matthew 28:19)

The Great Commission is Jesus’ command that His Church have as its primary focus the making of people that are like Him. It all begins with a miraculous redemption that gives us a new identity in His family. But the transition from the old life to the new always takes longer than we like. So, God commissioned us to stay committed to each other throughout the process of growing into the people He has made us to be. That’s because it is only in community that we can learn how to become that beautiful image of Himself in any context that we find ourselves. This life-long journey to love God with every part of our being and to grow in love and acceptance of His image in all of His creation, is what He wants for all of us. That’s why we try to make everything we do at New Heights Siloam Springs centered on that.

 

 

We Want to Love God Passionately 

He answered, “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’” Luke 10:27

We are committed to helping people love the Triune God in all of His fullness

So we are focused on helping people:

·       Know just how much God loves them

·       How to discern His voice in Scripture and share their beings through prayer

·       To progressively deepen their connection through multiple spiritual practices

·       To be honest about their brokenness and to find progressive healing from our Savior

·       To learn how to discern the voice of the Spirit and, most importantly, obey in faith

·       To gradually discern their gifts and calling and to regularly offer those in service to their King

 

 

We Want to Love our Neighbor Tangibly

And love your neighbor as yourself” Luke 10:27

We are committed to helping people love themselves and the people around them for who God has made them to be.

So we are focused on helping people:

·       Love others as God has loved them

·       Learning to listen to the pains and hurts of others

·       Passionately praying for the grace of God to provide all that is needed

·       Help the hurting move toward Jesus, while standing with them during God’s time of healing

·       Regularly sacrifice our resources to help those in need

·       Working with the CHURCH to bring greater goodness to our world than we could on our own

BELIEFS & VALUES

There is one God, eternally existing in three co-equal Persons (Romans 8; Ephesians 1:13-14).

  • God, out of love for his children, sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and to rise from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-8).

  • The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the final authority in life and doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16).

  • Salvation is a free gift of God. The death of Christ on the cross is the only sufficient payment for our sins. All have sinned, but all can be saved. This salvation is available for any who put their trust in Christ as Savior (Romans 3:23, 6:23; John 3:16).

  • Those trusting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:38).

  • The church is the body of Christ on earth, empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue the task of reaching the lost and discipling the saved, helping them become fully devoted followers of Christ (Ephesians 4:1-16).

  • Christ will one day return and reign forever (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

  • When we die, we will either be eternally separated from God by sin or eternally with God through faith in Jesus. (John 3:16; John 14:1-3; Revelation 20:10,15)
