Where do you start?
Join us on Sunday mornings at 9am or 11am for our Celebration! You can plan to be with us for about an hour and a half. We enjoy worship, prayer, and a teaching from God's Word. For the 9:00 celebration we offer a parking shuttle that begins at 8:30am from Salters pond lot at 123 Lydall Street.
The 9am Celebration will stream live on Facebook, YouTube, and the Live Stream page of this website for those who wish join in from home.
Please dress casually. We are a pretty relaxed group who takes God seriously, but we don't worry about what kind of clothes you wear.
The Grow Zone is what we call our "Sunday School" for kids and it looks a bit different for the summer. Each Sunday, during July and until August 23rd our children 3yrs through 11 years old will meet during the 9am service only! They are invited to a high-energy, VBS-style Summer Sundays series, "Kids in the Bible" where they will explore the lives of children in the Bible through engaging bible lessons, games, and crafts. Parents check-in their children in the lobby on arrival then bring them right to meet their class outside. Please have your children dress casually as they will be spending time outdoors and engaging in crafts that could be messy:)
The Nursery for little ones up to age 2 is available during both celebrations Sunday morning (9am and 11am) (parents can drop off before they enter the sanctuary or at anytime throughout the Celebration).
That's really about it!
Christianity is a team sport. We truly believe that we are better together than we are apart. That is why we encourage everyone to get involved in two things: First, we want you to get connected with at least one other Christian who will intentionally encourage you to grow in your friendship with Jesus. This is called a "discipling relationship" and we all need at least one. Second, we encourage you to plug into a ministry of New River where you can discover the thrill of being used by God to impact others. You can fill out a "get connected" form here.
