Vision and Values

Our heart beat at NewRiver is to take people to the next level.
But how do we go about that, what are our values here at NR, our DNA? 
Well hopefully this will give you a little better understanding of the vision
and values here at NewRiver.

1)    We are faith-filled, big thinking, bet-the-farm risk takers.
We’ll never insult God with small thinking and safe living.

2)    We are all about the “capital C” Church!
The local church is the hope of the world and we know we can
accomplish infinitely more together than apart.

3)    We are spiritual contributors not spiritual consumers.
The church does not exist for us. We are the church and we
exist for the world.

4)    We give up things we love for things we love even more.
It’s an honor to sacrifice for Christ and His church.

5)    We will do anything short of sin to reach people who don’t know Christ.
To reach people no one is reaching, we’ll have to do things no one is doing.

6)    We will lead the way with irrational generosity.
We truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.

7)    We will laugh hard, loud and often.
Nothing is more fun than serving God with people you love!

8)    We will be known for what we are for, not what we’re against. 

9) We always bring our best. Excellence honors God and inspires people.

10) The only constant in our ministry is change.
God is always doing a new thing. Why we do what we do never changes.
How we do it must change.

11) We don’t recruit volunteers; we release leaders.
Volunteers do good things but leaders change the world.

12) We’re living in the “good old days.”
We’re thankful for God’s blessings today and expect even more tomorrow.
