'''Newfrontiers''' (previously ''New Frontiers International'', abbreviated to ''NFI'') describes itself as an international family of churches together on a mission to establish the Kingdom of God by restoring the church, making disciples, training leaders and planting churches.


== Plot ==
Newfrontiers is rapidly growing and in September 2005 was approaching 500 churches worldwide. It was known during the 1990s and early 2000s for its international Stoneleigh Bible Week, in [[Coventry, England]]. The event gathered up to 26,000 delegates from around the world for teaching and celebration, before ending in 2001 with the catchphrase "Let's Go!". The vision was to focus on planting churches and increasing growth of the movement worldwide. Now leaders in Newfrontiers and students and 20s gather annually for Together On A Mission, at [[The Brighton Centre]] in July. Regional events titled Together At... are held around the country (i.e. Together At... North) to replace the bible week that existed before. In addition, 12-19s attend Newday for a similar blend of worship, teaching and celebration aimed at youth. This is headed up by Terry Virgo's son Joel Virgo.
In the year 10,001 B.C., a caveman is running away from a dinosaur, and gets in a fight with [[Michael Van Wijk|Wolf]]. He then encounters a saber-toothed alcoholic [[Amy Winehouse]], who informs him that humans will be extinct on August 29, 2008 (which happened to be the film's opening day), unless someone returns a [[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull|crystal skull]] to its altar.


The film flash-fowards to the present, where Will, the protagonist, apparently dreamt the past sequence. He then figures out that his girlfriend, Amy, had sex with another guy, for he finds [[Flava Flav]] is in his bed with them.
Newfrontiers has its roots in the [[Charismatic movement]] and was one of several groups that were influenced by a group of men gathered by [[Arthur Wallis (Bible teacher)|Arthur Wallis]], with [[Terry Virgo]] starting and overseeing the ministry.


Later that day, Will has a "Super Duper Sweet Sixteen" party at his house, even though he is 25. There are many people at the party, including Juney (a parody of [[Juno (film)|''Juno'']]), [[Dr. Phil]], [[The Jonas Brothers]], an off-key [[Jessica Simpson]], Seth and Fogell from ''[[Superbad]]'', the kids from ''[[High School Musical]]'', and [[Justin Timberlake]]. Will also notices that Amy brought another guy to his party. While at the party, Calvin attempts to [[Wanted (film)|curve a bullet]] around the room to stop Seth and Fogell from stealing the booze, and accidently kills [[Carmen Electra]] in the process.
== History ==


Later, the room shakes and a bulletin on the radio says that it is the end of the world. Will, Calvin, Lisa, and Juney go outside and find that [[Hannah Montana]] has been crushed by a meteor.
Newfrontiers itself began out of the ministry of leader [[Terry Virgo]] who grew up in [[Brighton]], England. Terry had been somewhat disillusioned as a young Christian by his experience of the traditional UK churches. Having experienced the [[Charismatic movement]] in the 1960s he longed for a return of Christianity to its New Testament 'charismatic roots' and, as a pastor of a church on an estate in Seaford in the UK, he formulated the desire of building a church that was biblical both in its doctrine and in its experience. In this formulation he was influenced by the teaching of the British '[[Charismatic Restorationism|Restorationist]]' [[Arthur Wallis (Bible teacher)|Arthur Wallis]]. Wallis' understanding was that a return of the 'charismatic gifts' (such as [[prophecy]] and [[speaking in tongues]]) to the traditional denominations was not sufficient. Instead a more thorough restoration of church life to a New Testament pattern was necessary. Although particular attention was given initially to the "Ephesians 4" ministries of apostle, prophet, evangelist and pastor/teacher, in reality a much more all-encompassing understanding of the nature of church life was to emerge.


Soon after, a mysterious [[The Mist (film)|mist]] begins to consume the street, and they retreat to a garage for shelter. While they're there they meet the girls from [[Sex and the City (film)|''Sex and the City'']], who say it's "their hideout".
During its beginnings the movement was strongly shaped through 'bible weeks'. These were conferences - usually a week long - which gathered those from amongst the early UK charismatic/restorationist movement to hear preaching from the 'apostolic team' (essentially the main leaders of the movement). The Downs Bible Week ran for a decade from 1979 and gathered up to 20,000 people at its height. Expositional [[Bible]] teaching and lively worship were major features of the event.
Juney fights [[Carrie Bradshaw]] for the garage [[You Don't Mess With The Zohan|Zohan]] style, and wins.


Soon after, Calvin says that he is cold and suggests they take their clothes off. Only the girls take their clothes off and the guys stare in awe. Later, Will has a dream where he is a [[Jumper (film)|Jumper]], and at the end of the dream, he gets stabbed by [[The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian|Prince Caspian]]'s sword. After Will's dream, the gang leaves the garage, and later, Lisa gets crushed by a meteor. [[Giselle (Disney)|Princess Giselle]] comes out of a manhole and gets hit by a taxi. Calvin catches her and she immediately falls in love with him.
Originally operating under the banner of Coastlands, the growing network of churches that related to Terry Virgo and the team he lead formed closer working relationships focused on mission, church planting and church oversight. Newfrontiers was born.


Later, a tornado occurs and the gang hangs on to parking meters and multiple heroes try to help them, including [[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]], [[The Incredible Hulk (2008 film)|The Incredible Hulk]], and [[Hellboy II: The Golden Army|Hellboy]], all of which then get hit by cows. When they find shelter, Calvin gets a call on his [[Get Smart (film)|"Get Smart" phone]] from Lisa's mother, who is informed about Lisa's death, and how Calvin has found someone hotter, Princess Giselle. Afterwards, they encounter a rabid group of singing [[Alvin and the Chipmunks (film)|chipmunks]], who attack the gang and eat Juney's flesh.
Initially, Newfrontiers consisted of churches primarily in southern England (primarily Sussex, Kent and South London) but from early on the group was involved in working in other nations. Involvements in church care and oversight began in India, Mexico and South Africa. Newfrontiers now has churches across the British Isles and in every continent of the world.


On their way to the museum to save Amy, they run into [[The Dark Knight (film)|Batman]], who warns them that they must hurry, for they only have a short time until the world ends. [[Speed Racer (film)|Speed Racer's]] car (with Michael Jackson in the trunk) comes to save Will's girlfriend, Amy. When they get there, all the artifacts in the museum come alive, including [[Kung Fu Panda]], who reveals that Giselle is a [[transvestite]] and kills Calvin.
After a break from the Downs Bible weeks of a few years, Newfrontiers started the [[Stoneleigh, Warwickshire|Stoneleigh]] Bible week in 1991. This conference also focussed on Bible teaching and worship albums were released. Musicians such as Paul Oakley, [[Stuart Townend]], Kate Simmonds and the group [[Phatfish]] were all featured on these albums. The conference became a major annual Christian event and attracted a large number from beyond Newfrontiers and British Restorationism.


Meanwhile, Will and Amy run into [[Beowulf (film)|Beowulf]], who fights Will in the nude. After Beowulf is defeated, Will and Amy meet Will's father (a parody of [[Indiana Jones]]) and Will returns the Crystal Skull to it's altar, averting further destruction.
Stoneleigh was stopped in its tenth year after the leadership believed God to be leading them to concentrate more on planting and growing churches. Since then the major focus of the movement has been to further develop mission from within their churches and to aim to grow to be a thousand churches in the UK and to have individual churches with more than a thousand members.


The film ends with a wedding ceremony for Will and Amy being preformed by [[The Love Guru|The Guru Shitka]]. Then all the characters come back alive and sing a song about dating each other, ending with the chipmunks being crushed by yet another cow.
Newfrontiers runs an annual international [http://www.newfrontiers.xtn.org/together-on-a-mission/ leaders conference] where thousands of church leaders come from around the world to gather for the now familiar mix of Bible teaching and lively worship times. This conference in [[Brighton]] runs concurrently with [http://www.mobilise.xtn.org Mobilise] for students and Christians in their 20s and attracts, in total, over 4,000 people a year including people from other denominations. The combination of these two events is now called Together On A Mission. Worship albums that have been recorded at the Together event have been produced since 2004, featuring the "original" Stoneleigh band line up, with Stuart Townend, Kate Simmonds, Lou Fellingham (Phatfish), and the South African worship leader Evan Rogers. In 2007, Stuart Townend decide to retire from worship leading the annual event, with [[Simon Brading]] and his band sharing the worship leading with the rest of the line up.


==Cast==
Newfrontiers also runs an annual [http://www.newday.xtn.org/ youth event] called [[Newday]]. It also runs regional bible weekends called Together At... to allow Newfrontiers churches to get together and celebrate, on a smaller scale than Stoneleigh but with a similar idea.

== Beliefs and distinctives ==


Newfrontiers has evolved somewhat from its early days, but today remains an [[evangelicalism|evangelical]] and [[Charismatic movement|charismatic]] group which has largely blended its restorationist ideals with traditional [[reformed]] theology. In doing so they aim to combine traditional [[Reformation]] ideas whilst maintaining a modern and informal style of worship. This fusion of influences helps explain the various distinctives within the movement.


==Box office performance==
'''Style of Worship service'''
On its debut in United States theatres, ''Disaster Movie'' grossed $2 million on its opening day, $5.8 million over the three-day weekend and $6.9 million over the four-day weekend (including [[Labor Day]]).<ref name="BOM">http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=daily&id=disastermovie.htm</ref> It ranked #7 for both the three- and four-day weekends. The film's takings for the weekend fell far short of the $17 million predicted by the ''[[Dallas Morning News]]''<ref>http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/ent/stories/DN-boxofficebuzz_0829gl.ART.State.Edition1.4d574d9.html</ref>.


As of 21 September 2008, ''Diaster Movie'' had grossed an estimated $13,570,000.<ref name="BOM"/>
Following modern evangelicalism, worship often takes the form of [[soft rock]], utilising drums, keyboards and electric guitars (see [[contemporary worship]]). As with many Charismatic churches, worship times are free flowing and church members are encouraged to participate by praying, reading passages of Scripture, or by using spiritual gifts such as prophecy, speaking in tongues or interpreting tongues.


==References==
During a 'typical service' time is often equally divided between 'worship' and 'preaching' and the latter, following their Reformed Evangelical commitments, is often very bible focused but with an attempt towards highlighting the relevance of Christianity within the contemporary world.

'''Church Leadership'''

Following their Restorationist origins, Newfrontiers is committed to building churches according to what they see as New Testament principles as a means of reviving world Christianity. Because of this one of the slogans of the movement has been "Changing the expression of Christianity around the world".

Within this self-understanding is the importance of restoring the '4-fold ministries' of Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, and Pastor & Teacher within the church (see history above). This means that one of the key movement distinctives is that of raising, training and 'releasing' leaders to lead local churches. This is why the annual 'leaders conference' is such a focal point of the movement's activities.

At the level of each local church, this leadership is expressed in terms of a plurality of local elders, and the raising and training of local leaders to lead house/[[cell group]]s, worship teams and other particular ministries (such as outreach to children or the poor etc).

'''Male and Female'''

Following many Reformed and Evangelical churches, many Newfrontiers churches hold to a [[complementarian]] position on gender similar to that promoted by the [[Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood]]. This means that women are not able to occupy positions of governmental leadership within the local (or wider network of) churches, such as eldership or apostolic ministries; however there is no prohibition of women leading in any other capacity, and many women operate as worship/cell leaders and/or 'prophets', and 'evangelists'. Women are also able to preach, as long as it does not undermine the 'husband' in their personal marriage, as the bible speaks of men and women working together in harmony, with separate but sometimes crossover roles. This was highlighted when wife of David Stroud, who oversees the UK stream of Newfrontiers churches, preached at Together At... North in 2006 in the main meeting.

'''Evangelism'''

Newfrontiers believes that the most effective form of evangelism is worked out from strong local churches: churches where each member participates, the gifts of the Spirit are outworked, where there is joy in caring one for the other, where there is a desire to make a difference in society and to reach those in need. Because of this strong emphasis on 'church led' evangelism the movement differentiates itself from other agencies focusing on evangelism outside of a recognisable, locally led and organised church (so called '[[parachurch]]' bodies).

They are also strong proponents of the [[Alpha course]].

== Buildings and meeting venues ==

[[Image:Barnabas_Centre.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Barnabas Community Church, a former army centre now used by a newfrontiers church in Shrewsbury, England.]]
Newfrontiers churches have traditionally placed a low emphasis on buildings. In doing so they have moved away from the traditional view of equating the church with the venue. Instead they have emphasised that church is defined by the community of believers that gather together to worship.
Consequently Newfrontiers churches meet in a variety of venues, with the building having less significance than in traditional church denominations. The older Newfrontiers churches were mostly former Baptist congregations and as such retain their original Baptist buildings (e.g. [http://www.brickhill-church.org.uk Brickhill Baptist Church] and [http://www.cityhope.co.uk City Hope Church]). However, other congregations were formed out of house gatherings or were planted from larger congregations and often did not have an associated 'church building'. Initially office space and meeting places were rented: commonly this included schools (e.g.[http://www.familychurchchristchurch.org.uk Christchurch Family Church]), Universities (e.g. [http://www.the-hope.org.uk Hope Church, Manchester]) or even multiplex cinemas (e.g. [http://www.jubilee-church.org Jubilee Church, London]), or theatres (e.g. [http://www.christchurchlondon.org Christchurch, London]).

Some congregations saw benefit of purchasing a venue, often combining a meeting place with office space. The trend in Newfrontiers currently is to buy converted warehouses (including Terry Virgo's home church [http://www.cck.org.uk CCK, Brighton] and for example, [http://www.bournemouthfamilychurch.org/ Bournemouth Family Church], [http://www.orwellchurch.co.uk/ Orwell Church, Ipswich]and [http://www.citychurchcambridge.org.uk City Church, Cambridge]).

Perhaps the most unusual venues in the UK are an old tram power station that now houses [http://www.city-church.co.uk City Church, Newcastle], a former bus garage [http://www.aylshamcommunitychurch.org Aylsham Community Church, Norfolk], an old cinema and bingo hall [http://www.winfam.org/ Winchester Family Church], a former Territorial Army Drill Hall [http://www.barnabascommunitychurch.com/barnabascentre.htm Barnabas Community Church, Shrewsbury], a football ground [http://www.gracechurch-nottingham.org Grace Church, Nottingham], a national cricket ground [http://www.theoasischurch.com Oasis Church, Birmingham] and a former [[synagogue]] [http://www.citychurchsheffield.org.uk/jubileecentre.htm City Church, Sheffield].

As Newfrontiers is continually starting up churches a visit to any one church may find yourself meeting in a rented or purchased building, or in somebody's home, depending on the local needs, size and available finances.

Travelling abroad will find even greater diversity with meeting venues varying from culture to culture. A church plant in the outskirts of Accra, Ghana meets in a mud hut with a straw roof and houses the local primary school midweek and one in Iraq uses one of the former regimes palaces.

Disaster Movie is a 2008 "spoof" film. It is written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, and stars Carmen Electra, Kim Kardashian, Matt Lanter, Nicole Parker, Crista Flanagan and Vanessa Minnillo.[2]

Plot

In the year 10,001 B.C., a caveman is running away from a dinosaur, and gets in a fight with Wolf. He then encounters a saber-toothed alcoholic Amy Winehouse, who informs him that humans will be extinct on August 29, 2008 (which happened to be the film's opening day), unless someone returns a crystal skull to its altar.

The film flash-fowards to the present, where Will, the protagonist, apparently dreamt the past sequence. He then figures out that his girlfriend, Amy, had sex with another guy, for he finds Flava Flav is in his bed with them.

Later that day, Will has a "Super Duper Sweet Sixteen" party at his house, even though he is 25. There are many people at the party, including Juney (a parody of Juno), Dr. Phil, The Jonas Brothers, an off-key Jessica Simpson, Seth and Fogell from Superbad, the kids from High School Musical, and Justin Timberlake. Will also notices that Amy brought another guy to his party. While at the party, Calvin attempts to curve a bullet around the room to stop Seth and Fogell from stealing the booze, and accidently kills Carmen Electra in the process.

Later, the room shakes and a bulletin on the radio says that it is the end of the world. Will, Calvin, Lisa, and Juney go outside and find that Hannah Montana has been crushed by a meteor.

Soon after, a mysterious mist begins to consume the street, and they retreat to a garage for shelter. While they're there they meet the girls from Sex and the City, who say it's "their hideout". Juney fights Carrie Bradshaw for the garage Zohan style, and wins.

Soon after, Calvin says that he is cold and suggests they take their clothes off. Only the girls take their clothes off and the guys stare in awe. Later, Will has a dream where he is a Jumper, and at the end of the dream, he gets stabbed by Prince Caspian's sword. After Will's dream, the gang leaves the garage, and later, Lisa gets crushed by a meteor. Princess Giselle comes out of a manhole and gets hit by a taxi. Calvin catches her and she immediately falls in love with him.

Later, a tornado occurs and the gang hangs on to parking meters and multiple heroes try to help them, including Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Hellboy, all of which then get hit by cows. When they find shelter, Calvin gets a call on his "Get Smart" phone from Lisa's mother, who is informed about Lisa's death, and how Calvin has found someone hotter, Princess Giselle. Afterwards, they encounter a rabid group of singing chipmunks, who attack the gang and eat Juney's flesh.

On their way to the museum to save Amy, they run into Batman, who warns them that they must hurry, for they only have a short time until the world ends. Speed Racer's car (with Michael Jackson in the trunk) comes to save Will's girlfriend, Amy. When they get there, all the artifacts in the museum come alive, including Kung Fu Panda, who reveals that Giselle is a transvestite and kills Calvin.

Meanwhile, Will and Amy run into Beowulf, who fights Will in the nude. After Beowulf is defeated, Will and Amy meet Will's father (a parody of Indiana Jones) and Will returns the Crystal Skull to it's altar, averting further destruction.

The film ends with a wedding ceremony for Will and Amy being preformed by The Guru Shitka. Then all the characters come back alive and sing a song about dating each other, ending with the chipmunks being crushed by yet another cow.
