What We believe...
​
The sixty-six canonical books of the Bible as originally written were inspired by God, hence free from error. They constitute the only infallible guide in faith and practice.​ God created Adam and Eve in His own image. By disobedience, they fell from their sinless state through temptation by Satan.
​
Spring 2019 plunged humanity into a state of sin and spiritual death and brought upon the entire race the sentence of eternal death. From this condition we can be saved only by the grace of God, through faith, on the basis of the work of Christ, and by the agency of the Holy Spirit.​ The eternally pre-existent Son became incarnate without human father, by being born of the Virgin Mary.
Thus, in the Lord Jesus Christ, divine and human natures were united in one Person, both natures being whole, perfect, and distinct. To effect salvation, he lived a sinless life and died on the cross as the sinner's substitute, shedding his blood for the remission of sins. On the third day, he physically rose from the dead in the body which had been laid in the tomb. He ascended to the right hand of the Father, where he performs the ministry of intercession. He shall come again, personally and visibly, to complete his saving work and to consummate the eternal plan of God.
​The Holy Spirit is the Third Part in the Trinity. When we have turned to God in penitent faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are accountable to God for living a life separated from sin and characterized by the fruit of the Spirit. It is our responsibility to contribute by word and deed to the universal spread of the Gospel. ​At the end of the age, the bodies of the dead shall be raised.
The righteous shall enter into full possession of eternal bliss in the presence of God, and the wicked shall be condemned to eternal death. We believe marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment between three, the man, the woman and God Almighty.
​
All that said, one of the most important things to know about New Jerusalem is that you are free from the Judgment, mistreatment and all the other things that create Church Hurt. Our goal is to create a atmosphere where a person can grow Spiritually and Mentally!
