Welcome to New Covenant! We believe God is good all the time and we gather on Sundays to celebrate His goodness. We are really glad you are here today!

If you are new to New Covenant be sure to visit Guest Services in the lobby to receive a special gift and a brochure designed to answer some of the questions you are probably asking and to help you get the most out of your first few visits.

This handout is our monthly communications brochure and is designed to make you aware of everything that is happening at NC. Feel free to participate in as much or as little as you are ready for.

Our hope is that as you take the next step into the New Covenant community and get more involved, you will begin to see that NC is more than just a Sunday Morning celebration; it is a family of everyday people following Jesus together to bring hope and change to the world - one life at a time.

Making Friends Making a Difference

Why Should I Join a Community Group?

Without community you are always just another face in a crowd. But in a Community Group, you matter. You are valuable. You belong. People care for you. You have talents to use. You develop relationship with others who become your friends; friends who need you. You can encourage one another. Your faith is real and dynamic and growing among a community of people.

Community Groups happen in homes and other places around the city, around food, in the midst of conversation, over time, and during life’s activities.

Community Groups are an excellent opportunity to grow in your faith and walk with Jesus. In a small, non-threatening community of people you will be able ask questions about the Bible, faith and life, You can pray and be prayed for, as well as discover and use the special gifts and abilities God has given you and more.

We have a number of groups beginning in September and October. There are different types of groups happening at different times in different places around the city. Find a group that suits you and contact the group leader to get involved or ask a question.

For more information about any of the groups visit our Community Groups page on our website: www.new-covenant.ca/community-groups
