New Hope Christian Fellowship's Beliefs
401 S. Lincoln, Ponca City, Oklahoma
We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary,
lived a sinless life and died on the cross.
That He rose from the dead and is seated in
Heaven and will return to glory and power.
Jesus Christ was and is and will always be
the second person of the God head and is deity.
We believe that all the gifts of the
Holy Sprit found are valid for today.
Each believer is given gifts and callings from
the Lord to glorify God
and build up the body of Christ.
We believe that salvation is a gift from God
and cannot be earned or maintained
by any merit on our part.
We believe in the eternal security of the believer.
Once truly received, salvation cannot be lost.
Salvation comes from grace only through
faith only in the atoning work of Jesus at Calvary.
We believe that at salvation man's sins
are not only forgiven but his spirit is
made alive to God by the Holy Spirit indwelling it.
We believe man does not do good works
to get saved or to maintain his salvation;
rather, man does good works because he is saved.
Our view on eternal security is if you are
truly saved you are forever saved.
This does not mean that a person is
free to live in a sinful and unbiblical fashion.
We feel that as Christians we must strive for unity.
This requires that we agree on the essential
of the Christian faith, agree to disagree
on the nonessentials, and strive to have love in all else
Our time on earth is limited
and we see ourselves more
as Christians than a particular denomination.
We are a church that believes that
Jesus gives true hope for broken,
shattered lives, and real healing is
found only in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
When you visit us you will not find a perfect church.
You will find people seeking to walk with the Lord.
Reaching out to the lost and hurting and
striving to love and care for each other.
Therefore it is our goal to impact our families,
neighborhood, city and world with the life
giving and life changing gospel of
Jesus Christ through personal
and corporate evangelism.

We believe that God uses 3 things to reach an unsaved world
in order to reveal Himself. The Bible, His word and the Holy Spirit
to enlighten people to the truth and draw men to Himself and
the child of God to be his instruments that carries the Gospel.
