The purpose of this church shall be as revealed in the New Testament, to win people to faith in Jesus Christ and commit them actively to the church,

to help grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ that increasingly they may know and do His will, to work for the unity of all Christians, and with them engage in the common task of building the Kingdom of God.

More specifically, the purpose of the New Bedford Christian Church is to provide a place and atmosphere for worship and Christian fellowship, filling the spiritual and physical needs with the preaching, teaching and living of the Good News. As the center of strength in the community, the church is caring, sharing and reaching out with the love of God to youth and all people.
