Our story is simple: we're a group of people who want to experience God and build community.
At New Experience, we are more than just a community - we are family. Our guiding principles are centered around love, togetherness, and experiencing God in our lives in a real and life-changing way. We have a deep passion for building a community that is strong, safe and supportive. We understand the value of serving and we believe that building a relationship with God gives us what we need to love and serve others.
We Are Equal
The world’s system is a rat race. In it, every person is told that there is something that makes them inferior. People are taught to compare themselves to each other and to find ways to elevate themselves. We’ve all experienced this system, but we are meant to live outside it. We are all God’s children, and we are committed to seeing each other like He has seen and loved us: equally.
01
We Break Cycles
Insanity is trying to repeat the same process and expecting different results. We all make mistakes, and God isn’t asking us to be perfect. What He DOES want is that when we see something that doesn’t work, we stop doing it! Man’s wisdom, worldly pleasures, and living life in a carnal way do not work. Once we see that, we have a duty to stop.
02
We Trust Him
Life gives you headaches. There are circumstances that seem impossible to overcome. This a family of like-minded people. We are like-minded in that we’ve all found that the best way to take care of these headaches is to trust God. It is the one thing that can bring us peace in a storm.
03
We Are a Family
We love each other, and we support each other—and that looks a certain way. It’s not about small talk. It’s not about shooting the breeze. We are a family that will talk about our issues. We are real with each other, and our relationships are based on being able to openly and honestly support each other.
04
We Grow
If something is living, it grows. We are part of a living body that serves a living God, and we never stop growing in our walk towards Him. Every day, we should be looking to line up our actions more with what we know to be true. Even these Principles are a living document that can grow and adjust to represent the freedom that we are learning more about every day.
05
We Choose
This is, and always has been, a volunteer army. We are here because we want to be. It is a choice that each one of us has made individually, and it is a choice that we must make every single day. The only relationship that ties us together is the one we have with the Lord. We lay our lives down willingly because we know His ways our better than ours.
06
We Do Life BIG
You don’t have to be around us long to figure this one out. God has given us an abundant life, full of friends, memories, and shared experiences. We are meant to live it to the fullest.
07
We Don’t Give Up (We Fight)
When we fall, we get back up. Every time. We don’t always have to know what to do; we don’t be have to perfect; we don’t have to feel our best, but we absolutely have to fight. Circumstances and feelings attack each one of us, and (no matter what we are going through) we have an opportunity to live our lives for Him more than we did yesterday. God has never given up on us. Our job is to not give up on Him and who He’s called us to be.
