A Statement of Faith is a declaration of a church’s position on matters that pertain to the essentials of Christian belief. Our desire is to live lives that are an expression of our belief.

the Wilson family

People often say a picture is worth a thousand words. If you were to take one quick look at our picture, not knowing anything about our story, I can imagine what kind of words you would use to describe our family. Beautiful, sweet, maybe even Instagram perfect? However, if I could take you behind the scenes of our life leading up to this point, you might be surprised to find that beyond the picture perfect smiles, our journey reflects tremendous hurt from relationships and religion, depression, sorrow from infertility, insecurity in ministry, cancer, fear and anger. There have been many moments on our journey where we prayed and asked God to keep us from the pain we were walking through, but it turns out, every step was necessary and that pain was the very thing that pushed our little family to this place of complete and total surrender to God’s will. Our pain and our scars tell a story. A story God allows us to tell in hopes that others will one day hear it and discover that even when they’re walking through life’s darkest times, He is there. The English translation for the Greek word “NEO” is NEW and FRESH. We are excited to not only plant a church, but a life-giving church. You see, the local church should be the hope of the world. A place where anyone can come, truly just as they are, and discover what new thing God wants to do through them. A place where religion is diminished and relationship is developed. A place where there is evident joy and excitement in serving the Lord and the community. A place where God takes the broken and restores them into a new relationship with Him. I believe that because of our story, we are going to see those that have been broken, have given up hope, feel lost, have been hurt by relationships or religion, or who feel like they just don’t belong, come to know Christ and find community within our family. Even in the midst of our deepest pain, He was there. He was never using the pain to harm us. He was using the pain to prepare us for where He was planning on taking us. If we were to look at your life’s photo, what would it say about you? If God can take our broken mess and do a new thing through us, what new thing can He do through you?

YOUR PAIN AND YOUR PAST TELL A STORY

Most of us want to live a NEO [English translation: NEW, YOUNG, FRESH] life, a life better than the one we’re currently living. Deep inside each and every one of us is a desire to make a difference and see someone else’s life made new as a result of our story. Yet, many of us have no idea where to start or what to do. Did you know that God designed YOU with specific gifts and unique talents to make a difference? When you discover what those gifts are and you are given opportunities to serve the homeless, feed the hungry, or just love people, that would be living a NEO life! And if a bunch of people got together and did this, that would change our city.
AT NEO CHURCH, WE WILL LIVE A LIFE OF GENEROSITY AND FAITH IN
ORDER TO SEE EVERY LIFE MADE NEW.

Beliefs

DECLARATION OF FAITH
NEO Church believes the whole Bible to be completely and equally inspired and that it is the written Word of God. NEO Church has adopted the following Declaration of Faith as its standard and official expression of its doctrine.
We believe:

In the verbal inspiration of the Bible.

In one God eternally existing in three
persons; namely, the Father, Son, and
Holy Ghost.

That Jesus Christ is the only begotten
Son of the Father, conceived of the Holy
Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. That
Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised
from the dead. That He ascended to
heaven and is today at the right hand of
the Father as the Intercessor.

That all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God and that repentance is
commanded of God for all and necessary
for forgiveness of sins.

That justification, regeneration, and the
new birth are wrought by faith in the
blood of Jesus Christ.

In sanctification subsequent to the new
birth, through faith in the blood of Christ;
through the Word, and by the Holy Ghost.
Holiness to be God’s standard of living for
His people.

In the baptism with the Holy Ghost
subsequent to a clean heart.

In speaking with other tongues as the
Spirit gives utterance and that it is the
initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy
Ghost.

In water baptism by immersion, and all
who repent should be baptized in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost.

Divine healing is provided for all in the
atonement.

In the Lord’s Supper and washing of the
saints’ feet.

In the premillennial second coming of
Jesus. First, to resurrect the righteous
dead and to catch away the living saints
to Him in the air. Second, to reign on the
earth a thousand years.

In the bodily resurrection; eternal life for
the righteous, and eternal punishment for
the wicked.
