What We Believe
Ministry Verse, Vision, Mission, & Statement of Faith

Ministry Verse:

“Enter by the narrow gate.  For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.  But small is the gate and narrow the path that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Matthew 7:13-14

 

Vision:

People spiritually freed from the bonds of addiction, through the faith, hope, and love found in Jesus Christ.

 

Mission:

The mission of The Narrow Path Ministries is to share the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to forever change the hearts and lives of addicted men, women, and their families, to become Spirit-filled and productive citizens of their community.

 

Statement of Faith:

Passion for God:  We love God and desire to have others come into a personal relationship with the Savior.  We value each person as an individual and wish to help them recognize his or her need for a Savior.  We believe the Scriptures are the primary way God speaks to us.

Spiritual Relationships:  We want to be people who come alongside individuals and help them understand what it means to be a Christ-follower.  We affirm each person’s giftedness and will help others use their gifts in Kingdom service.

Catalyst for Community:  We are a people who value the church.  We seek to bring people together for worship, community, teaching, and ministry.

Ears that Hear:  As we talk with God in prayer, we listen carefully for His voice as revealed in Scripture and through the work of the Spirit.  We are a people who are committed to asking God to reveal His will to us through careful and consistent corporate and private prayer.

Peacemakers:  While holding tightly to our statement of faith, we seek to focus on that which brings unity and common purpose.  We refrain from controversy and divisive issues that cause strife, choosing to center on Jesus and His redemptive work.

Relevance:  We seek relevance through evaluation of our methods as we teach the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing culture.

Clean Hearts:  We are a broken people.  When we make mistakes, we respond graciously, asking for and giving forgiveness.  We come to the cross as equals, people who have a sinful nature and have experienced the miracle of grace from our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Commitment to Each Other:  We are a group of Christ-followers who intentionally live out what it means to be the family of God, submitting to each other, willingly accountable, and genuinely caring for those who are called to our common work.
