CONCEPT

The NECLF concept is simple: to see the Church that Jesus is building grow and connect. In John 17 Jesus prayed that we would be one, in unity with Him and the Father, and also in unity (oneness) with each other. We see this described in scripture using the picture of a physical body. (Romans 12:3-4, 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 and Ephesians 4:1-5).

In western church culture we often interpret John 17 and the context of “our church”as the local congregation with whom we fellowship. However, while this application is not incorrect, it may be too limited. In the early church, the expression of His body included included all believers in the city.

Jesus will one day return for His one precious bride. This one bride infers that there should be and will be a connecting together of those who are disciples of Christ.

Jesus instruction to the believer is, love God, love our neighbor, and make disciples who become part of the church; the Body of Christ. It’s a simple concept with an almost unlimited number of practical ways to live. We know from John 17:21 and 23 that this prayer for unity in and through Him should be answered as a testimony of Jesus the world can see.

At NECLF, we believe that we can better serve and accomplish the tasks God has given us if we work in connection and in unity with him and one other.
