ABOUT US
We are a church committed to an energetic ministry of hospitality. We welcome all who are seeking God’s love and mercy, whether for the first time or after a lifetime of faith. We do so because Jesus calls us to love our neighbor, near and far (Luke 10:25–37) and to welcome the little ones (Mark 9:36–37). We also trust that when a stranger is among us, Christ is present in our midst (Matthew 25:31–46).
At New Song, you will encounter a wide range of experiences and perspectives, but we are united by the grace of Christ Jesus. We invite you to join our growing community of faith. You are welcome here.
OUR MISSION
We seek to create a community of disciples, connecting people to Christ, to one another, and the community around us. At New Song Church, we understand that our role is to guide people through a process of discipleship. First, we welcome people to worship and praise God through our weekend experiences. Then we encourage people to grow in faith through small groups and Bible studies. In addition, we are called to serve God and God’s people in the church and community.
Finally, we are called to invite others into the beloved community of God’s grace.
We are a member congregation of the Grand Canyon Synod, a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
OUR BELIEFS
We confess the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. We acknowledge the Holy Scriptures as the Inspired Word of God and the authoritative source of its proclamation, faith, and life.
CHURCH COUNCIL
Governance of New Song Church begins with the Annual Meeting of the voting members of the congregation, where visions are presented, budgets approved, and the like. In addition, we elect the Congregation Council, which consists of 9 members plus ordained clergy. Each council member serves a three-year term, renewable once. The council selects the executive council, which includes a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary.
