OUR THEOLOGY
We are a community that holds to essentials of the Christian faith as presented in the recently created "evangelical manifesto." We are not interested in just learning about our faith; we are here to live it out. We live out our faith whether the plans are relevant or irrelevant, as the Spirit leads. Our desire is to live out John 5:19, the ministry of Jesus:
We are not interested in just learning about our faith.
We are here to live it out.
"Jesus gave them this answer: 'I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does."
Our journey is into the local and global communities that God places us in, to be a light and witness for Jesus Christ, by living out our missional journey.
We live out our identity

Through Sunday worship
Through Covenant communities Through Missional Ministry (N.E.W.) |
Each of these "events" are a doorway into Numa's communal life and a way out to being a witness to the world around us. Come and experience Numa Life at one these gatherings or we'll find our way to you!
Our commitment is to the Kingdom of God, so we know that being invitational for others to come and join our community is important. But we also know that we are to go and make disciples as well. The Kingdom must be brought into the darkness. Through our Missional ministry we are committed to making sure that our community is active in the local and global community around us.

Streams of Living Water by Richard Foster “Jesus did not all of a sudden one day start spouting nice sayings about God. No, when he began his public ministry, he was speaking out of a life that had been tested and tried.” |
Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster “The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.” |
Theirs is the Kingdom by Robert D. Lupton “The downward mobility of the kingdom strikes at the very heart of our earthly strivings.” |
In the Name of Jesus by Henri Nouwen "The knowledge of Jesus’ heart is a knowledge of the heart. And when we live in the world with that knowledge, we cannot do other than bring healing, reconciliation, new life, and hope wherever we go." |
Kingdom Triangle by J.P. Moreland “God maintains a delicate balance between keeping his existence sufficiently evident so people will know he's there and yet hiding his presence enough so that people who want to choose to ignore him can do it. This way, their choice of destiny is really free.” |
Living in Christ's Presence by Dallas Willard & John Ortberg “Many people think of Jesus as our Savior, as the one who will get us into heaven. So the question often is “Have I accepted Jesus as my Savior?” But we never ask the question “Have I accepted Jesus as my teacher?” |
