Welcome to
New Brighton Christian Church.
We’re glad you’ve come to
worship with us today.
The Lord's Supper… is our weekly commemoration of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We invite all who profess Jesus as their Lord and Savior to take the bread and the juice, and to eat and drink after prayer and reflection.

Softball Season is almost over! The last two games before the tournament (August 13) are:

When there is an urgent need in the congregation, prayer is the most powerful weapon we possess, and it can be wielded by anyone at anytime. If you would like to join with us in prayer as the need arises, to be added to the telephone prayer chain, please contact Ann Dewing: 763-572-1314.

THIS
CONGREGATION is
a part of the restoration
movement within the
church of Jesus Christ
that for over a century
and a half has sought to return to the church as established by
Christ in the New Testament. To do this, we follow no creed but
Christ and accept the Bible as our only rule of faith. We are not
the only Christians but Christians only. We wear no man-made
labels or titles. We are not led by a hierarchy, but rather by men
and women of faith who are filled with the Holy Spirit. In
following the Bible’s example for Christianity, we follow its basic
outline of salvation:
WE ARE SAVED . . .
By grace: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not
from yourselves, it is a gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9
Through faith: “...having been buried with Him (Jesus Christ) in baptism and
raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from
the dead.” Colossians 2:12
In baptism: “...and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the
removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It
saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at
God’s right hand with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.” 1
Peter 3:21-22
For good works: "Do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless?
Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he
offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were
working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did." James 2:20-
22
We would be glad to answer your questions or to share more
information with you regarding your relationship to Jesus Christ
and to His church. Thank you for worshiping with us today!
