What we believe compels us;
Who we believe in changes everything.
These statements shape our ministry, inspire our actions, and unite us as a Body committed to living out God’s love in the world.
Statement of Faith
We Believe:
In God,
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Creator of heaven and earth, sovereign over all.
In Scripture,
We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and authoritative Word of God, without error in all it affirms, and the supreme standard for faith and life.
In Jesus Christ,
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, and will return in glory to judge the living and the dead.
In Salvation,
We believe that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. All people are sinful and separated from God, and forgiveness and eternal life are freely offered to all who repent and trust in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
In the Holy Spirit,
We believe in the Holy Spirit, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement; regenerates and indwells all believers; and empowers the Church for worship, service, and mission.
In the Church,
We believe in the one, holy, universal Church—the Body of Christ—composed of all who trust in Jesus. We are called to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples of all nations, and demonstrate God's love through word and deed.
In Mission,
We believe God's heart is for all peoples, and that every person deserves to hear the good news of Jesus at least once. We are committed to reaching the least-reached and seeing vibrant communities of Jesus followers established worldwide.
In His Return,
We believe in the personal and visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the body, the final judgement, and the eternal joy of the redeemed in the presence of God.
Ready to Join the Mission?
It’s not about having all the answers.
It’s about being open to the journey.
And sometimes, that’s all it takes to change the world.
Your journey with OM New Zealand starts with a simple question:
How is God calling you to reach the least reached?
