Welcome!
We are thrilled that you have taken time to check us out. New Destiny is an upbeat casual church in Denver, NC. We officially started in April 2009 as a new church plant with great vision and dreams from the Lord. Now we are growing as a group of Christ-followers on the journey together to engage God and others. We truly believe that when God gets involved, the landscape of our friends, communities, and nations will be transformed.
Our Strategy
Our plan is to impact people one life at a time through personal relationships. We want to develop community with God and one another within our workplaces, neighborhoods, schools – wherever we live life day to day.
The most important thing we do is gather in Small Groups for the purpose of relationship, community, outreach, and growth. We also believe it is important for us to gather weekly for worship and celebration. Our Sunday Celebration Service will use upbeat music, innovative media, and messages that apply to everyday life.
God is a God of transformation, and we believe that this extends to our community as well. We want to positively impact the community in such a way that we would be missed if we were gone. To make this reality, we are strategically seeking to match the passions of our people with the needs in our community.
Who We Are
New Destiny Community Church is a group of Christ-followers engaging God and others. Our passion is to partner with God as He transforms the landscape of friendships, communities, and nations. We desire to collaborate with churches to see every man, woman, and child both hear and see the gospel.
Isaiah 55, Matthew 22:36-40, 28:19-20
What We Value
Values tell what’s most important to us. Our priorities, treasures, and actions flow from our values. At New Destiny, we have identified the following values as both who we are and who we are striving to be.
Authenticity
Every believer should strive to be real with God and those they encounter.
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks. (John 4:23)
Worship
We value the privilege to express our love for Christ through our life actions.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. (Romans 12:1)
Transformation
We believe that with salvation comes a new identity in Christ, and this new identity produces a transformed life with new treasures and habits.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Servant Leadership
We believe that each person should reflect Christ’s character of servant leadership. We believe that a team approach to service is more effective for accomplishing the vision.
Each one should use whatever he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10)
Community
We encourage deep relationships that share life, respond to God’s grace, and grow toward Christ-likeness.
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples – that you have love for one another. (John 13:35)
Influence
We believe that all Christ-followers exert influence, and that impacting our friends, communities, and world is birthed out of a Christ-like compassion.
His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known. (Ephesians 3:10)
We exist to:
…to reach people for Jesus Christ!
…to build sincere transparent relationships.
…to teach relevant authentic messages that transform lives!
We value:
• We value Jesus
• We value people
• We value change
• We value creativity and innovation
• We value relevance
• We value excellence
• We value small groups
• We value spiritual growth
• We value missions and outreach
Our core values:
1 WE BELIEVE...The Scriptures are inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.
2. WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.
3. WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin).
4. WE BELIEVE...The Church has a Mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.
What is the mission?
New Destiny Community Church is committed to reaching the unchurched and over churched of the Denver / West Lake Norman area by serving the community, relevant creative teaching and genuine transparent relationships where Jesus Christ is priority and the gospel transforms lives.
The Ministry Model: How is New Destiny going to look in the next year or two? What is the basic model we expect to see?
1. Weekly Celebration Services: currently we plan to have Sunday services from 6:00 – 7:30pm.
2. Small Groups: we plan to have bi weekly home groups. We believe small group/home groups are vital to building true community and unity as we grow as believers.
3. Servant Evangelism: we plan to connect with our community and to do ongoing events that serve our community on at least a monthly basis.
4. New Destiny Breakthrough Prayer: we plan to have ongoing weekly prayer opportunities. But once a month we plan to have a focus night of prayer.
5. Outreaches: we plan to reach out to those in our community, state and the world.
6. Mission Trips: we plan to do regular (min of yearly) overseas and/or statewide mission trips.
7. Connection Events: Church can and should be fun! We plan to be a church that gives time for relaxing social fun times.
