RESPONSIBILITIES OF PART-TIME WORSHIP LEADER
Statements of Faith
About God
God is the creator and ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
Genesis 1:1, 26, 27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
About Man
Man is made in the spiritual image of God, to be like him in character. He is the supreme object of God’s creation. Although man has tremendous potential for good, he is marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called "sin." This attitude separates man from God.
Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2
About Eternity
Man was created to exist forever. He will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is hell. To be eternally in union with him is eternal life. Heaven and hell are places of eternal existence.
John 3:16; 1 John 2:25; 1 John 5:11-13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; Matthew 25:31-46
About Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven’s glory and will return again to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5, 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Romans 1:3, 4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14, 15; Titus 2:13
About Salvation
Salvation is a gift from God to man. Man can never make up for his sin by self-improvement or good works – only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can man be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith.
Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8, 9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
About Eternal Security
Because God gives man eternal life through Jesus Christ, the believer is secure in salvation for eternity. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.
John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
About The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under his control daily.
2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:1
About The Bible
The Bible is God’s word to all men. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is truth without any mixture of error.
2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
About Baptism
Baptism by immersion symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus and is your public declaration that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Baptism does not save you, but shows the world that you have already been saved. And while baptism is not required for salvation, it is a biblical command and demonstrates your love and obedience to Christ.
Colossians 2:12; Acts 2:41; Ephesians 2: 8-9; Matthew 28:19-20
About Communion
Communion, or the Lord’s Supper, is an ordinance given to all believers by Jesus Christ to remember his sacrifice for us and to symbolize the new covenant. The elements of bread and wine or juice are symbols of Christ’s broken body and shed blood. Communion is not a means of salvation. Rather, it is a testament of a believer’s faith in the atoning work of the cross.
Matthew 26:26-30; Mark 14:22-26; Luke 22:19,20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
Job Type: Part-time
New Creation Church is a new Christian non-denominational church in the heart of the Hyde Park neighborhood on Chicago’s south side. After serving in pastoral ministry 14 years, Pastor Ricky Brown felt the call to plant a church in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
Ricky dreamed of a multiethnic, intergenerational community that reflects the beauty and diversity of God's creation of humanity. A place where people could be taught the Word of God and experience the love of God from the people of God. The hope of the Gospel offers a newness of life that can only come through a relationship with Jesus Christ. God gave the mission for the church: Inviting People to Become a New Creation, meaning we don't want to stop at being made new ourselves, but we want to invite other people into the same process that radically changed our lives, a loving relationship with Jesus.
We launched September 9th, 2018 but the process involved a 3-4 year period of seeking the face of God. In 2017 Ricky and his wife Amber took the first steps toward planting a new church. They both attended a rigorous 4-day assessment for church planters which is designed to discover giftedness and calling. They passed! After their assessment the process of recruiting launch team members and raising support began.
Beginning without any people or resources, the launch team quickly grew, and partners began to align with the mission and vision of New Creation Church through financial support. Our partners are Cherry Hills Community Church; Highlands Ranch CO, Saddleback Church (Purpose Driven Church Conference); Orange County CA, Chicago Partnership for Church Planting, Mission Church; Bloomingdale IL, Greater Mt. Bethel COCHUSA; Jackson MS, Passion 4 Planting, Exponential Conference, NewThing, Stadia, Woodlands Community Church; Homewood IL, Thirst Network, Church at the Springs; Ocala FL, Lakepointe Church; Dallas TX, Fellowship Associates and a host of private donors. Praise be to God!
Vision: New Creation Church exists to be a diverse community of disciples who make disciples, and a church that plants churches throughout the world.
