What we Believe

GOD THE FATHER

God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal parts of one God. Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22, Psalm 90:2, Matthew 28:19, I Peter 1:2, II Corinthians 13:14


GOD THE SON

Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all men by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to heaven and will return again to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22-23, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5, 14:10-30, Hebrews 4:14-15, I Corinthians 15:3-4, Romans 1:3-4, Acts 1:9-11, I Timothy 6:14-15, Titus 2:13


GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is equal with the Father and the Son as God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every believer from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth and guidance in doing what is right. The Christian seeks to live under His control daily. II Corinthians 3:17, John 16:7-13, 14:16-17, Acts 1:8, I Corinthians 2:12, 3:16, Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 5:25, Ephesians 5:18


BIBLE

The Bible is God’s Word to all men. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. II Timothy 3:16-17, II Peter 1:20-21, II Timothy 1:13, Psalm 119:105,160, Psalm 12:6, Proverbs 30:5


MAN

Man is made in the image of God as the supreme object of God’s creation. God designed man to have fellowship with him, but man became alienated from God through disobedience. We are all born with a sinful nature and choose to sin against God. We’re incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts. Genesis 1:27, Psalm 8:3-6, Isaiah 53:6, Romans 3:23, Colossians 1:21, Isaiah 59:1-2


ETERNITY

You were created to exist forever. We believe that forever is spent in one of two places: eternally separated from God because of sin or in union with God because of His forgiveness and salvation. When you die, you will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. Eternal separation from God happens in hell. Eternal union with God occurs in heaven. John 3:16, I John 2:25, 5:11-13, Romans 6:23, Revelation 20:15


SALVATION

Salvation is God’s gift to you if you’ll accept it. We can never make up for our sin with self-improvement or good works. It is only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness that you can be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life begins the moment you receive Jesus Christ into your life by faith. Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, 1:12, Titus 3:5, Galatians 3:26, Romans 5:1


WATER BAPTISM

We believe that Water Baptism is an important part of our walk with Christ. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward change that happens when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior and Jesus cleansed us from all our sins. It also symbolizes how we have a new life in Christ Jesus.


HEALING

Because of the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross, humanity can experience the healing power of God. Isaiah 53:5; I Peter 2:24-25


Purpose Statement

"To bring others "Towards Christ," as we show kindness to others, and share the message of the Hope of Jesus."

About

Nobel Life Outreach is a Dallas-based ministry. The NLO vision is based on our calling to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Aaron Buttrick is the founder. Aaron began NLO to share the blessings he experienced as he recovered from addiction, poverty and lostness. He created Noble Life Outreach as a front-line street ministry. 

Nobel Life Outreach has grown to provide accountable living in several local residential neighborhoods. These residents are transitioning from difficulties like being homeless or in prison to becoming equal participants in polite society. We face issues with people experiencing chronic unemployment, substance abuse, and/or mental illness. Our corrective approach is based on faith, not fear. Noble Life Outreach exists to provide individuals with an opportunity to repurpose and restructure their lives through a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

We collect and distributes food and other items to those in need. NLO is on site for disaster relief and outreach to people on the street and those who may need help for the first time.

Noble Life Outreach believes: 

In the importance of treating every individual with a caring heart.

We teach the importance of serving others to clients & to volunteers.

Personal service to others promotes growth for clients & volunteers.

Mistakes are an opportunity to grow for clients & volunteers.

We begin by treating everybody equally.  We provide clients an opportunity to make progress in their lives.


We create strategic partnerships with nonprofits and other stakeholders. Our partners represent a variety of Industries. We collect over 4 million pounds of food each year. We organize and distribute the food and personal items with our partners. These resources translate to over 5 million meals for people in need valued at over $6,000,000. Our operations and Logistics endeavors are managed with integrity and compassion. 

We also provide character development, mentorship & job training. We provide a template for the growth for each of our participants. This creates opportunities for expansion of our outreach activities. 

Noble Life Outreach provides on-site mentors and consistent support during the day to people who are experiencing difficulties. A core value at NLO is to display grace to our clients, our volunteers, and our ministry partners. We observe that we all are afforded many chances to resolve problems in life. We make every effort to extend every opportunity for redemption in all our dealings.
