Our Core Values
As we seek to awaken our gifts, encourage one another, and come together in unity to create balance for the various aspects of our lives, it is important to understand our core values taken from the biblical foundations set forth in the word of God.
Awakening Our Gifts
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them”. Ephesians 2:10 (NASB)
Our prayer for one another and for the success of our endeavors is the same as that of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10 - "Oh that You would bless [us] indeed and enlarge [our] borders, and that Your hand might be with [us], and that You would keep us from harm that it may not pain [us]!" (NASB)
Encouragement
Members of NBWEN are called to the responsibility of the older teaching the younger, helping each other reach our highest potential and success-personally, spiritually, and professionally. (Titus 2:3-5)
In this context, members of NBWEN may be called upon to mentor another member or volunteer for community services we may participate in, as well as provide discounted services for a struggling member. The membership is a cooperative group who should be available or use each other as resources for the benefit of all involved.
Although it is not required, we ask that members of the NBWEN provide discounted rates to other members where possible and a 5%-10% referral fee to the organization for any business obtained as a result of NBWEN.
Funds that are provided to NBWEN are used to operate the organization and further assist the members and the community by providing necessary training and workshops, marketing and advertising, mentoring, scholarships and grants, etc.
Unification
Members of NBWEN agree to be “unified in the Spirit”. Backbiting, envy, discord, and disunity among members or any other person will not be tolerated. (Ephesians 4)
Members of NBWEN agree to “walk by the Spirit” in the way we conduct ourselves and our businesses among our members and the community. (Galatians 5)
If members are unable to confront and “squash” issues, forgive and move forward, we will ask for immediate tendering of their membership. NO refunds will be given. However, reinstatement may occur after members have received appropriate conflict resolution counseling.
Forgiveness and Restoration are ALWAYS available.
What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the Word of God, supernaturally inspired. It is inerrant in the original manuscripts and preserved by God in its verbal, plenary inspiration; and that it is a divinely authoritative standard for every age and every life.
We believe in the Godhead existing eternally in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that these three are one God.
We believe God is the absolute and sole creator of the universe and that creation was by divine command.
We believe God, by His sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Christ into the world to save sinners.
We believe that Jesus Christ in the flesh was both God and man. He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life; He was crucified, died as a penalty for our sins, and was raised from the dead bodily on the third day. Later, He ascended to the Father’s right hand where He is the head of the church and intercedes for believers. We believe Jesus Christ is coming again personally, bodily, and visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom.
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ made a perfect atonement for sin, through his sacrificial death and shed blood, and has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. Men are saved and justified on the simple and single ground of His shed blood.
We believe that salvation through Jesus Christ, with its forgiveness of sins, its impartation of a new nature, and its hope of eternal life—is entirely apart from good works, baptism, church membership or man’s effort and is of pure grace.
We believe that a true believer is eternally secure, that he cannot lose his salvation, but that sin may interrupt the joy of his fellowship with God and bring the loving discipline of his heavenly Father.
We believe that all who receive Christ become joint heirs with Him, and at death, their spirits and souls depart to be with Christ in conscious blessedness.
We believe that at rapture, their bodies will be raised to the likeness of the body of His glory and dwell forever in His divine presence.
We believe that it is the goal of every Christian to become a disciple of Christ by growing toward spiritual maturity through the knowledge of and obedience to the Word of God and submission to the Holy Spirit, who indwells, baptizes and seals all believers at the moment of salvation.
We believe that every true Christian is to be a dynamic part of a local church since this is God’s primary context for spiritual development and community impact.
