Our Vision
At North Edmonton Christian Fellowship (NECF), our Vision and Mission are rooted in this core conviction:
WE HONOUR THE WORD OF GOD AND EXALT JESUS CHRIST.
We affirm the absolute truth and sufficiency of Scripture, unchanging despite cultural shifts. Our commitment is to teach sound doctrine, guiding God’s people to truth and true freedom.
We proclaim that the Church is built solely on Jesus Christ, not on any individual, denomination, or affiliation. Following the Biblical pattern, we build the local Church without compromise, grounded in Christ as the cornerstone.
This vision shapes all our ministries, with a special focus on nurturing our children through sound doctrine in our Kids Ministry and School. We also serve our community through New Hope Ministry, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and meeting practical needs, recognizing our mission field is right in our midst.
As the Church, we are called to be the pillar and foundation of truth, a light and salt in a dying world, embodying the hope and love of the Body of Christ
John 17 : 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth
2 Timothy 4 : 3 –4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables
1 Timothy 3 : 15b I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth
