We believe that God loves you. There is nothing more important we could list first.
We believe that he intensely desires every person to search for him. We believe people can indeed seek out and find God, because he is not far from anyone. And at the same time, he is also relentlessly pursuing you. We believe that God wants to connect you to the story of redemption he has been writing for the world.
This story of his is of a rebirth. Not simply fixing what was broken, but completely replacing what "was" with something new. We believe God has given all of us a place in this story; in community both alongside him and amongst each other. Our places in this story look different, because we are different. But we are all in this story, on this journey, together. Belief in God is not the end of that journey, but merely the beginning.
Because of this journey and the story God communicates to all of us, you won't find a list of beliefs with isolated text references to easily check off here. We don't think that does either God or our beliefs about him justice. You wouldn't hold a conversation with your children, family, or close friends by reciting a list. That is how you go about starting an argument.
So instead, we have our beliefs at NPC in the form of a story - a narrative. A casual, yet important conversation. Because we believe that God doesn't want to fight & argue with you, but to be in conversation and community with you. What we believe about God is at the very core of what we believe about ourselves, each other, the whole world. Ultimately, everything in existence is part of this one great story.
